GUIMARAES, Nadya Araujo. What changes with expansion of the wage base (and how can the Sociological debate help understand it)?. Dados [online]. 2011, vol.54, n.4, pp. 533-568. ISSN 0011-5258.  http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0011-52582011000400002.

Since the second half of the 2000s, Brazil has witnessed a systematic recovery of formal employment, including an important increase in a special form of job relationship, namely indirect employment. This has led to both the expansion of a new management approach to job recruitment and hiring, plus the consolidation of a burgeoning business segment, with new links between client companies and job agencies. Empirical evidence is used in an in-depth analysis of the situation in São Paulo, Brazil's largest market for both formal jobs and work positions through agencies, drawing on data from the RAIS-Migra and PAEP/SP surveys.
