| Sumario: | This article deals with the political debate concerning the Brazilian wage legislationduring the second semester of 1983.

The article discusses some mechanisms ofreal average wage maintenance, including a sliding scale of readjustments not based on fixedadjustment periods. Complementary measures dealing with price controls and broader macroeconomicpolicies are discussed in closing. JEL Classification: J31; J33. |
