A participação de conselhos gestores na formulação de políticas: o caso do Conselho Tripartite e Paritário de Trabalho e Renda da Bahia entre 2017 e 2021

Abstract

This dissertation has as its theme the employment policy in the State of Bahia in the context between the Labor Reform and the COVID-19 pandemic. The empirical object consists of the Tripartite and Parity Council for Labor and Income of Bahia (CETER) between the years 2017 (first year of validity of the Labor Reform) and 2021 (first year as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic). Starting from the listed theme, and aiming to address aspects of governance in Brazilian federalism, the highlighted research problem consists of the budgetary rigidity by which the Brazilian federal entities conduct expenditures on employment policy. In this way, the research question that arises asks: how did CETER participate in the formulation of the employment policy of the State of Bahia between the years 2017 and 2021? Aiming to answer this question, the general objective of the work is to systematize the deliberations that took place in CETER, aiming to verify its participation in the formulation of the employment policy of the State of Bahia in the highlighted period. The first objective of this work is to problematize the formulation of employment policies from the trajectory of CETER between the years 2017 and 2021. The second specific objective of this work is to analyze official documents (minutes, laws and resolutions) related to CETER meetings, as well as occupational statistical data from the State of Bahia. By studying the dynamics of federal entities in the face of the presence of a policy, the work consists of an exploratory research, having its methodology exclusively qualitative aspects, given the documental analysis of the following public documents: CETER Internal Regulations; New Sine Regulatory Framework (Law No. 13,667/2018); Law 14.099/19, corresponding to the creation of the State Labor Fund (FET); twenty-eight (28) minutes of CETER's ordinary meetings between the years 2017 and 2021; as well as an interview with the president of CETER in the 2021-2022 biennium. Preliminary results point to a significant coverage of the analyzed policy, at the same time that such policy is insufficiently regulated. The conclusion of the study is that the Council analyzed played the role of inducing policies in its population, but conforms to an unstable federative framework that does not contribute to the consistent reduction of regional inequalities and to the effective division of power among local governments, principles -base of a federation
