Guided by precepts of participation and social dialogue, workshop participants included members of the Brazilian federal Government, state Governments, representatives of Workers’ and Employers’ organizations, academics and Brazil’s main research and statistical institutes. This report reflects the main points of discussion and records efforts of the tripartite group of Brazilian specialists to consolidate a proposal of indicators for Measuring Decent Work in Brazil.
