A evolução do desemprego dos jovens no Brasil e no Nordeste entre 2012 e 2020

Abstract

The present research proposed to describe and analyze the working conditions of young people aged 15 to 29 years in Brazil and in the Northeast. The issues addressed concern the issue of occupational insertion of young people in both regions. This insertion represents the of the first job and, in general, it is marked by precarious wages and the high rate of job turnover, and more strongly the informality and precariousness of youth work. This research was carried out in quantitative and qualitative descriptive research with data analysis through descriptive statistics of microdata from the IBGE's of Pesquisa Nacional por Amostra de Domicílios Contínua Trimestral. The survey showed an increase in youth unemployment in all groups analyzed in the period covered in the survey, in line with the economic crisis in the 2015 and 2016 biennium, in addition to a more focused professional insertion on informality and self-employment, thus, the research concludes that a higher level of education contributes to more qualified and productive jobs, even with a longer duration of transition from school to work, making it necessary to improve the qualification of young people.
