Brazilian labor market challenges
Overview
Recent reports highlight various structural and operational difficulties within the Brazilian workforce. An investigation by the Associação Brasileira de Qualidade de Vida (ABQV) involving 110 companies found that 70% of organizations identify age-related barriers affecting hiring, promotions, and professional development. The study noted a lack of formal corporate strategies regarding longevity, with only 7.3% of surveyed companies integrating it into core business strategies.
Separately, a Korn Ferry study indicates that 63% of Brazilian professionals have seen a significant increase in workload over the last two years. Approximately 59% of workers are reportedly accumulating responsibilities from multiple roles due to reduced team sizes. While technology and artificial intelligence have increased expected task volumes for 52% of respondents, salary remains the primary driver for job selection and retention, cited by 88% and 92% of professionals respectively.
