Análise da pluriatividade na região nordeste do Brasil

Abstract

The objecive of the article is identified and analyze the possible determinants of the phenomenon of pluriactivity in rural areas, considering the aspects related to the composition of pluriactive families in the Northeast region of Brazil. For this purpose, the Logit econometric model was used based on data from the continuous National Household Sample Survey (Pnad) of 2019.4. The main results were that the Northeast region stood out for the type of pluriactive families with 34% of the total number of rural Brazilian families, and of this total, male heads represent 79.65%. The Northeast region, despite having the largest number of pluriactive families, has this contingent concentrated in three states: Bahia, Ceará and Piauí. One observed that the determinants of pluriactivity in the rural Northeast of Brazil are the employing family, the employed family, the gender of the head, race, the age group, the education category, the Federative Unit category and the category of per capita income. Therefore, the work infers to the fact that agricultural families are increasingly becoming pluriactive families or non-agricultural families in all Federation Units.
