leisure and recreation on the holidays regulation: the ilo and brazil in the first half of xxth century

This paper investigates the legislation on holidays in some of the member countries of the ILO, and more specifically in Brazil. It will seek to understand how these western countries treated the issue as he emerged in Brazil in the mid-1920s. At first it will be described the situation in which the ILO and its resolutions arise, passing through the adoption of vacation laws in various locations. Then, the law will be studied in Brazil: first with the presentation of the path of the law from the period of approval to its first reprocessing (1925-1934), and finally the struggle of the workers to ensure it.
