Inserção e rendimentos no mercado de trabalho brasileiro por diferencial de qualidade do diploma no período de 2011 A 2015

Abstract

This study examines whether the labor market in Brazil can distinguish insertion and return for salary by educational level and by quality of the school diploma. The likelihood of employment and the income return rate are compared between individuals who completed stages of formal education at the appropriate age and those who completed them in supplementary education courses, such as Educação de Jovens e Adultos (EJA), which are assumed to be of lower quality. The work is built on data provided by the Pesquisa Nacional por Amostra de Domicílios (PNAD), collected between the years of 2011 to 2015. The statistical models used are the Probit regression and the Mincer earnings function with the two-stage Heckman procedure, in order to model and estimate the insertion and rate of return salary. The results show that the insertion in the labor market and the rate of return of educarion are positively influenced by the degree and the quality of the educational diploma. However, this difference only begins to appear when the individual reaches a certain work experience in the market, over 25 years of age.
