Abstract

En este artículo se presenta el estudio de la relación entre la evolución de la desigualdad y la de la informalidad laboral durante la década del 2000 en Brasil. Aunque la meta primordial del trabajo es dilucidar la contribución del proceso de formalización experimentado durante toda la década, esta se debe analizar junto con otros factores relacionados. Para realizar este análisis y establecer la contribución de cada factor se presenta una serie de ejercicios de descomposiciones econométricas a partir de microdatos de las encuestas de hogares. Los ejercicios de descomposición considerados se basan en la combinación de técnicas de reponderación junto con estimaciones de modelos de función de influencia recentrada (expresión que en inglés se traduce como recentered influence function y se conoce por la sigla RIF). Se encuentra que el proceso de formalización considerado en forma aislada tuvo una incidencia igualadora mediante el aumento de los ingresos de las personas que pertenecen a los ventiles más bajos.
