摘要

This paper investigates the effect of living in families without work (jobless families) on the work and study outcomes of young Brazilians living in urban areas via microdata derived from the 2012–2019 Continuous National Household Sample Survey (PNAD). Our empirical strategy utilizes Propensity Score Matching (PSM) and entropy balancing. To verify the robustness of our results to the presence of unobserved variables, we perform sensitivity analyses. The estimates of the average treatment effect on the individuals indicate that being in a family without work negatively affects the salary of young males. In addition, being in such families reduces the likelihood of young persons of either sex working while increasing their chances of age-grade lag. Overall, our findings suggest that there is a clear need to formulate public policies that aim to alleviate the problems for young people that result from living in a family without work. Such policies must necessarily involve a reduction in the number of families in this situation.
