Abstract
This paper intends to compare Brazilian and Chinese labor legislations related to employement agreements, and
to explain how they influence the way of doing business in both countries through a comparative analysis of the
most relevant aspects. From an economic, political and historical perspective, labor legislation impacts wages,
employment, domestic consumption and economic growth, among others. Employement agreements legislation
affects labor market outcomes and business operations. This paper compares both legislations and concludes that
regulatory changes have to be made in the near future in Brazil, in particular, but as well as in China; in order
to provide a more effective environment to attain a sustainable economic growth.
