SOUTH-NORTH IMMIGRATION AND THE EXPLOITATION OF LABOUR IN THE AGE OF CAPITAL

The aim of the article is to analyze South-North labor immigration, especially in the last two decades of the 21st century, highlighting its imbrications with the functioning of the labor market and with the public policies of immigrant-receiving countries in the global North. The analysis is made in the light of historical-dialectical materialism, the research has an exploratory approach and the methodology is based on a review of the literature pertinent to studies relating to work and immigration, analysis of reports on international migration from the International Organization for Migration (IOM, 2020, 2021 e 2022), the Department of Economic and Social Affairs of the United Nations (UN/DESA), the World Migration Report (2019) and the International Labor Organization. (ILO, 2021) The results indicate that the countries of the North have used public policies to manage immigration, seeking to create the conditions for deepening control of labour locally and contributing to the global precariousness of the workforce.
