Haitian Immigrants in the Brazilian Labour Market: an overview
Abstract
Abstract
Based on a case study of the recent migration flow of Haitians to Brazil, from 2010-2015, this paper aims to shed light on the entry of Haitian immigrants into the Brazilian labour market. Indeed, Haitians went from being a few dozen immigrants in Brazil in 2010, to become the main immigrant group in the formal labour market in the country in 2013, overtaking the classic migrations to Brazil, such as the Portuguese. In this context, the paper will outline the profile of Haitians in the Brazilian labour market, particularly analysing the employment of these immigrants at the start of the decade, concentrating on 2015.
Keywords: Brazil, Haitians, labour market.
