Perfil do trabalhador sul-mato-grossense: uma análise utilizando os dados da PNAD 2015

Abstract

This paper aims to analyze the profile of the South-Mato Grosso worker and determine which variables have the greatest impact on the probability of being working. For this, PNAD 2015 was used as a data source. After defining the variables correlated to the worker, a descriptive analysis of the distribution of characteristics of the South-Mato Grosso labor market was presented. Among the results, it was observed that the average household income of the workers was estimated at R $ 4,330.47, the average age at 31 years and the number of men who were working was higher than the number of women, 56.94 % against 43.06%. In addition, almost all of the employed population was brown or white (46.96% and 46.7%, respectively), the majority of the population was single, 80.22%, and did not live with minor children of 12 years (46.88%). There is also the education factor, which presented large proportions of workers with a regular elementary and secondary level, and a higher education level (33.31%, 31.03% and 20.75%, respectively). After the descriptive analysis of the data, these were used in the application of the logistic econometric model, logit. According to the results, the variables gender, age, marital status, and schooling were statistically significant, while the variables color, household income and number of children were not statistically significant. With regard to the gender variable, the probability of men being employed is 25.33% higher than that of women, if that individual is married, the probability of being employed increases by 15.04% and an additional year of schooling increases by 4.55% the probability that the individual is working.
