Dois ensaios sobre mobilidade de trabalhadores no Brasil

Abstract

The analysis of labor mobility plays a fundamental role in decision-making in public policy. The first essay addresses the issue of mobility by long and short distance, and the regional factors of attraction for workers among Brazilian microregions, by means of negative binomial model. There was the realization of the preferred destinations for workers with higher relative attractiveness, employment of workers off against, density, proportion of graduates, less crime and congestion. To model long-distance flows are oriented destinations with lower population density, lower degree of industrialization, less crime and greater relative attractiveness. Congestion proved irrelevant in the long-distance mobility. The distance appears as an inhibiting factor for mobility, regardless of the cuts away. The second essay adopts a spatial multilevel logit model in order to identify the determinants of individual and regional mobility of skilled workers in the Brazilian microregions. The results indicate that the worker seniority figures as inhibitory factor of mobility, and expected wage decrease the propensity of mobility for workers in general, though it increases the propensity of the more skilled ones. The context variables also show important to explain mobility, such as GDP per capita, proportion of workers with higher education, rate of homicide by vehicle inhabitants, degree of industrialization and net migrants.
