Políticas públicas em empregabilidade: elementos para uma crítica

Abstract

Faced with the alarming and increasing rates of current unemployment, we see the capitalist States to change their policies to combat unemployment on employability policy. Such changes, however, before being analyzed as policy updates, as adaptations to changing times, should be analyzed considering some specifics like: (a) what is employability, (b) which social changes that cause the increase in unemployment and, especially, (c) how to articulate both. To contribute to a critical analysis of employability policies, this article points to factors to be considered for the discussion of the nature and social function of public policies on employability.
