Análise da eficiência das agências públicas de emprego do Brasil

Abstract

Unemployment is a challenge to be overcome by the world economies. Due to concerns about the economic and social impacts of unemployment, the International Labor Organization (ILO) guided each of its members to maintain a free public employment service in order to ensure full employment and reduce imperfections in the labor market with a view to better match supply and demand for labor force. In this way, the National Employment System was set up in Brazil. This paper intends to analyze the performance of the action of manpower intermediation of the National Public System for each state of Brazil. For this study, we use the methodology of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), which analyzes, in a comparative way, the data from the 27 states, between the years 2004 and 2010. This methodology provides a measure to evaluate the relative efficiency of the states. In addition to this methodology, it is used the bootstrap method that identifies the bia s of the efficiency measures and subtract them, in order to make more robust estimators. The results indicate that the action of manpower intermediation of Public Employment System presents efficiency estimators increasingly smaller for the states in the years analyzed, with the exception of Minas Gerais and Mato Grosso. Thus, it was formed, less efficiently, fewer partnerships between claimants and providers of workforce. Despite the results, it is recommended to carry out further studies to analyze some aspects not considered in this paper, as well as an evaluation of the model from its consolidation as a government instrument for improving the quality of services of the public employment agencies.
