A study conducted by FGV IBRE analyzed how education has impacted the labor market since the 1990s. In an interview with CNN Rádio, researcher Fernando Holanda Barbosa Filho assessed how Brazil can improve the quality of employment in the coming years.
According to him, “there is no silver bullet”. “If it were simple to solve the problems, with a single measure, it would have already been done. It is important to attack on several fronts.”
“Firstly, it is to increase average schooling and, secondly, it has to provide conditions for more sustainable growth, the only thing that generates employment is that, if the economy is slipping, it will not be able to generate quality in the vacancies”, he said .
The researcher highlighted that the survey indicates that schooled workers are more likely to have a formal job, with a formal contract. “A higher level of education allows him to be more productive, he can negotiate his salary better and is more attractive to the employer.”
Even so, Holanda recalls that formal employment in Brazil costs more than informal employment – and this should be discussed.
“We have to make changes so that the cost of a formal and informal worker is reduced, the disparity is so great that it leaves the country in a dual economy, with a large percentage both formal and informal.”
He explains that the “PJtization project” makes even educated people get jobs “on their own”. “It’s a formal job, but not with a formal contract, it will contain a higher income, this type of worker without a work card will have a high income.”
