| Sumario: | The informality is an important problem affecting the Brazilian labor market, considering that around 50% of the economically active population is in the informal sector. We used the data from the 2007 Brazilian National Household Survey (PNAD) and the multinomial logit model to identify the factors with the greatest influence on the labor force status of an economically active person aged 16 years and over in Brazil. Age and education have a positive effect on the probability of an individual of getting employed, especially formal. Male individuals, as well as white or yellow individuals, are more likely to get employed, especially in the formal sector. Those who reside in rural areas are more likely to be employed. Living in Northeast and North Regions increases the probability of working informally. |
