Job Markets and Hibridization: Uniformity and Differences between France and Brazil

This paper intends to problematize recent interpretations that admit a process of "brazilinization" of the North, starting from the tendencies of the job markets. In the center of our discussion is the hibridization concept, as a category capable of capturing the different ways of flexibilization endured by the job markets & to build a comparison on the recent performance of the job markets in Brazil & France. This paper is structured in five steps. In the first of them, we make an analysis of the nature of globalization; in the second, we discuss the specificity of the job market as well as the social & political conditions of its regulation in each of the realities in analysis; in the third, we introduce the hibridization concept that captures the effects of flexibilization & of the precarization of the job market or markets. In the fourth, we associate job markets & hibridization to evidence that the job market uniformity that exists between North & South, or more precisely, between France & Brazil, is configured by the prevalence of the wages as the dominant form of insertion in the job markets; however, the hibridization in the job markets in France & in Brazil is of different nature, volume & consequences.
