📅 12 Desèmber 1930 📍 Brazil

Decree 19,482 required certain employers and public contractors to show that at least two-thirds of their employees were Brazilian-born. The measure responded to unemployment and shaped the balance between immigrant and locally born labor. It did not undo the earlier privileging of European immigration or guarantee Black Brazilians equal hiring. Its categories concerned nationality and birth, not a direct racial quota for Afro-Brazilians.
