Uma análise dos impactos da pandemia da covid-19 no mercado de trabalho do Brasil, do Nordeste e do Ceará

Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic, which as of 2020 has devastated not only Brazil, but the entire world, has had serious negative impacts on the job market, causing a historic increase in the unemployment rate. In Brazil and especially in Ceará, several government decrees were issued in order to prioritize the maintenance of life, through social distancing, which, even though necessary, caused great losses of formal occupations in the labor market. In this way, the present work will analyze the governmental decrees issued by the government of Ceará until the flexibilization of the use of masks and later will verify the effects caused by the pandemic in Brazil, the Northeast and Ceará in the indicators of unemployment, underutilization, underoccupation and discouragement. Finally, it will be considered how Covid-19 affected the balance of formal occupations in these three geographic areas, with emphasis on the State of Ceará, increasing its analysis through the use of data on gender, age group and education level most affected during the periods. years 2020 and 2021.
