Abstract

The main objective of this monograph is go through the precariousness to which informal workers are subjected on beaches in João Pessoa/PB. Informality is a phenomenon that has expanded with the changes that have occurred in the labour world, interfering in the configuration of this market, since the 90s. The development of this capitalist model means that few people are inserted in the formal conditions of employment. These informal activities contribute to keep a significant number of people busy to obtain income, meeting their needs. This monograph approaches a research on informal work performed on Cabo Branco, Tambaú and Manaíra beaches, in the city of João Pessoa, Paraíba. This study identifies and analyzes the main informal work activities developed on these beaches, with special attention to the precariousness experienced, as well as the growth of this economic activity in the city, due to the Brazilian economic crisis.
