Description:
We are pleased to announce the publication of IPC Working Paper #44, “Do Changes in the Labour Market Take Families out of Poverty? Determinants of Exiting Poverty in Brazilian Metropolitan Regions”. The authors, Ana Flavia Machado, Visiting Scholar at IPC from CEDEPLAR, Federal University of Minas Gerais, and Rafael Ribas, IPC researcher, draw on data from a monthly employment survey to determine whether short-term changes in the labour market in Brazil affect the probability that households will exit poverty or remain in it. Their most important findings relate to the duration that households remain in poverty, their level of income when they enter poverty, changes in the unemployment rate and increases in the average wage of informal-sector workers.
