Quão heterogêneo é o setor informal brasileiro? Uma proposta de classificação de atividades baseada na Ecinf

The aim of this paper is to present a classification of sectors for the Brazilian economy according to different degrees of informality in the organization of the production. The paper classifies informal activities in three levels: high, medium and low informality. Considering that there is no clear line dividing formal and informal work, we assume that there is a continuum of situations where the characteristics of decent work are more or less observed. The paper concludes that to combat informality economic policy should pursuit economic growth and act taking in consideration the differences in the organization of the informal sector.

Fatores associados ao desempenho escolar: uma análise da proficiência em matemática dos alunos do 5º ano do ensino fundamental da rede municipal do Rio de Janeiro

This study is included in the line of research which seeks to identify different factors that influence the operation of public schools and their quality by identifying variables that affect educational outcomes, in particular, students’ achievements measured by educational assessment procedures conducted by the Instituto Nacional de Estudos e Pesquisas Educacionais Anisio Teixeira (Inep/MEC). Factors that influence students’ proficiency are numerous and complex, and include dynamics operating on different levels, from socioeconomic and cultural features of individuals and their families, through the dynamics that take place in classrooms between teachers and students, and extending to structural features of schools. Significant actors that explain better or weaker student outcomes include students themselves as well as their relatives, school employees, principals and teachers . The objective of this study was to analyze the possible factors that influence the educational achievements of students in the fifth year of public elementary schools in the city of Rio de Janeiro. For this purpose, three-level hierarchical linear models were used to assess the effects of socioeconomic, cultural and family backgrounds of students, teaching practices and styles, and even educational policies, management aspects and other features of schools. The primary data source was Prova Brasil 2007.
