Os determinantes das escolhas ocupacionais das jovens mulheres das áreas rurais do Sul do Brasil

Abstract

This article analyzes the determinants of the occupational choices of young women aged 15-29 living in the rural areas of southern Brazil. A multinomial logit model with data from the 2010 Demographic Census is used. It was observed that approximately 22% of rural dwellers in the rural areas do not participate in the EAP and do not study, 16% participate in the EAP and study, 46% only participates in the EAP and 16% only studies. In addition, the schooling of both the young person and the parents has proved to be essential in order to tackle social exclusion. Already the fact of having children tends to encourage the young to move to the nem-nem category, especially in adolescence. Therefore, this research reinforces the importance of developing consistent youth public policies since the dedication to the children and the inflexibility of the working day of these young people can make their professional engagement onerous and potentiate the backwardness of the school.
