In recent years, Brazil has become an increasingly attractive destination not only for migrants from the Latin America, but also for those from countries also belonging to the global South. It is worth mentioning among these groups the Argentines, Paraguayans, Venezuelan, among others. According to data from the Relação Annual de Informações Sociais (RAIS), published by the Brazilian Observatory of International Migrations, OBMigra, the entrance of immigrant workers in the Brazilian formal labor market registered a growth of 131% in the first years of this decade. We propose to carry out an analysis that defines as a cut-off criterion the immigration of citizens from the first South American countries, in terms of quantitative presence in Brazil, with the main objective of understanding how the movements and characteristics of these immigrants are in the formal labor market in Brazil, in 2017. Two databases of the Ministry of Labor of Brazil, Caged (General Cadastre of Empregados e Desempregados), were analyzed, allowing to observe the movements of hiring and resignations combined to the CTPS base (Carteira de Trabalho e Previdência Social). To this data we add data of the stock of immigrant workers extracted from the Rais (Relação Anual de Informações Sociais). The analysis was concentrated in the monthly movement and in the stock of immigrants at the end of the year in question. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article aims to analyze the characteristics of the Latin American immigrant formally employed in the Brazilian labor market. Using the data from the Annual Report of Social Information (RAIS), we conducted an analysis of the sociodemographic, economic and labor insertion profile of Latin American formal workers between 2006 and 2016. The results showed that the profile of Latin American immigrants changed significantly in the last 10 years. If, by the mid-2000s, the arrival of older, better-educated Latin Americans was more common, and these were employed in more technical and creative occupations, the scene shifted to a younger, less qualified migration allocated to operational and more repetitive sectors. Even so, RAIS data do not include informal workers, self-employed and employed in firms with up to 10 employees. As future researches, comparative analyzes are proposed with other countries of origin, as well as studies at municipal level. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
