This paper questions three concepts of public policies presented nowadays as alternatives to the neoliberal economic paradigm and to the precarization of the labor market that has come in its wake: local development, entrepreneurism and urban governance. As their object are the companies that form the Productive Local Arrangement of Information Technology in the region of Londrina, Paraná, inserted within the public policies here problematized. Data collected from the Ministry of Labor and Employment (MTE) show that these companies tend to provide the routine activities present in the chains of value of the sector's large transnational corporations, which are more susceptible to the labor vulnerabilities imposed by the mobility that capital has acquired with economic globalization. Thus, different from the official perspective that guides these policies, the results refer to precarization indicators that are a consensus in specialized literature on the topic: lower schooling grade, salaries around 0.5 to one minimum wage and high turnover level.
