Determinants of secondary employment and informality: additional evidence for the Brazilian labor market

Abstract This study aims to analyze the factors that determine an individual’s choice of having secondary employment and how this decision is related to informality. To that end, based on data from “Pesquisa Nacional por Amostra de Domicílios (PNAD) contínua”, we estimate a random effects Logit model to verify factors influencing this decision of insertion. Results indicate that the main work income, schooling and informality in the main employment have a positive influence on the worker’s decision to seek secondary employment.
