Abstract

O objetivo deste artigo é investigar a evolução do mercado de casamento e o seu impacto na distribuição de renda no Brasil. A partir da análise de dados dos censos demográficos de 1970 a 2010, encontramos evidências de que as pessoas estão cada vez mais se casando com parceiros de características semelhantes, ao longo dos anos. O aumento do número de casamentos seletivos, a princípio, não é capaz de afetar negativamente a desigualdade de renda. No entanto, quando realizamos alguns exercícios contrafactuais, é possível perceber que a melhora na distribuição de renda, ocorrida nesse período, poderia ter sido ainda maior caso essa tendência no mercado de casamento não tivesse ocorrido.
