MULTIPLE JOB HOLDING IN BRAZIL: AN ANALYSIS OF LABOR SUPPLY USING PNAD DATA

ABSTRACT The present study has as objective to analyze the determinants of labor supply in the multiple job market in Brazil. We use data from the National Household Sample Survey (PNAD), from 2004 and 2014, and a model with a limited dependent variable, tobit. The results indicate that the market in question is composed mostly of men, heads of families and workers who have a higher educational level. From the estimated supply function, it is shown that male individuals offer more hours of work. From the theoretical viewpoints tested, the reason for restricting hours was relevant and reduced the supply and the reason for age insecurity increases a job offer.
