The Constitution embeds labor rights and an immigration quota

📅 16 Yüli 1934 📍 Brazil

The 1934 Constitution set out labor protections and capped immigration from each country at two percent of nationals of that country who had settled in Brazil over the previous fifty years. It also framed immigration in terms of “ethnic integration.” The quota system made national origin a constitutional instrument for managing population and labor. A decolonial reading situates this policy within racialized debates about national identity and the aftermath of slavery.
