A Influência da Raça e do Gênero nas Oportunidades de Obtenção de Renda – Uma Análise da Discriminação em Mercados de Trabalho Distintos: Bahia e São Paulo

Abstract

This paper attempts to verify the hypothesis of discrimination in the Brazilian labor market for men and women, according to their racial auto-identification - white or black - in the states of Bahia and São Paulo. A probit model has been applied for the accomplishment of the tests. The results show that the discrimination is alive in the Brazilian labor market against black people and women, especially black women. It was not found any evidence of racial discrimination among the poorest population, but among this group the discrimination against women persists.
