Características e desigualdades salariais da economia criativa em Mato Grosso : uma análise da PNAD Contínua

Abstract

The aim of this study is to characterize creative and non-creative workers according to their socioeconomic characteristics, such as area (urban or rural), gender, color/race, completed higher education, position in the occupation, public servant, informality and social security contributions. To do this, we used microdata from the IBGE's Continuous National Household Sample Survey (PNADC) 2019 and 2022, focusing on professionals in Mato Grosso. The study reveals disparities in income linked to the intrinsic characteristics of professionals, showing that women, black people and those working in the informal sector have the lowest incomes, to the detriment of non-black men in formal employment. The importance of higher education for increasing income in creative occupations is also clear, as is the need for these professionals to be formalized. In this way, this study has revealed the urgent importance of correcting the existing inequalities in the lower incomes of two specific groups: women and black people ando, to this end, it is necessary to formulate public policies that correct these disparities that permeate this labor market.
