A Terceirização Precariza as Relações de Trabalho? O Impacto Sobre Acidentes e Doenças

In march 2017, a new regulamentation on outsourced contract relations passed presidential sanction. This bill increased the debate over the consequences of that kind of contract. The discussion, however, was not structurated on empirical basis, once it’s difficult to obtain data on brazilian outsourced workers. In this paper we try to fill this gap and test if outsourcing diminishes work safety, affecting the accidents suffered by the workers. We conclude that outsourcing decreases the probability of the worker having an accident, but increase the severity of the accidents. Further estimates suggest that our results were not driven for unobserved individual characteristics.

2017年3月，一项针对外包合同关系的新法规获得总统签署批准。该法案引发了围绕此类合同后果的广泛讨论。然而，由于难以获取巴西外包劳动者的相关数据，这场讨论并未建立在实证依据之上。本研究旨在填补这一研究空白，检验外包是否会降低工作安全性，进而对劳动者遭遇的工伤事故产生影响。研究结果表明，外包虽会降低劳动者发生工伤事故的概率，却会提高事故的严重程度。进一步的估计分析显示，本研究结论并未受到未观测到的个体特征的干扰。
