Mercado de Trabalho: Uma análise da dinâmica do emprego no Mato Grosso do Sul

Abstract

The measures to contain the Covid-19 pandemic, social isolation, lockdown and home office brought social, economic and political impacts on society, with an immediate impact on the worsening of the crisis scenario regarding unemployment and social inequality. This research aims to analyze the labor market in the State of Mato Grosso do Sul between the years 2019 and 2021, pre and during the pandemic. This is a literature review work, carried out from a bibliographic research and using quantitative data from the National Household Sample Survey (PNAD) of the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE). The data show a substantial negative effect of the pandemic on the labor market, especially in the 1st quarter of 2021. It is concluded that the services, commerce, transport, food sectors were the ones that most felt the effects of the pandemic, with unemployment and a decrease in salary. A good part of the workers laid off by these sectors sought survival through the exercise of work activities in informality.
