SILVA FILHO, LUÍS ABEL DA; FERREIRA DA SILVA, FÁBIO JOSÉ  and  QUEIROZ, SILVANA NUNES DE. YOUTH IN THE BRAZILIAN FORMAL LABOUR MARKET: A QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS. Rev.fac.cienc.econ. [online]. 2015, vol.23, n.2, pp.21-34. ISSN 0121-6805.  https://doi.org/10.18359/rfce.1605.

In the 1990s, the high rate of unemployment was part of the reality of the Brazilian labor market. In this scenario, the youth labor was the most penalized by having the lowest employment rates, with most employed in the informal sector and obtaining low income. However, during the first decade of this century, the dynamics of the domestic labor market was different from that observed in the last decade, especially since 2004, with the increase in the creation of formal jobs. Therefore, this article aims to analyze the labor market of children and young people (aged between 14 and 24 years). The time frame of this analysis covers the years 1992, 2002 and 2012; Data refer to the Annual Social Information (RAIS) of the Ministry of Labor and Employment (MTE). Methodologically a review of the relative literature on the integration of young people in work activities was performed, and an indicator for the estimation of the participation of young people formally employed in Brazil was calculated. The main results show that between 1990 and 2000 a worsening of the entry of young people in the Brazilian labor market began. In addition, it was found that the formalization promoted during the 2000s, did not reach the youth formal labor.
