In Brazil, atypical work has grown significantly due to economic flexibility and informality in the labor market. The term 'trabalho atípico' is increasingly used in labor policy discussions and government regulations (such as Law 13,467/2017 - Labor Reform). In the USA and urban centers like São Paulo, atypical work is often associated with the gig economy and tech platforms. This reflects broader global trends of labor market transformation away from traditional employment models.
