CHRONIC NON-COMMUNICABLE DISEASES AND PARTICIPATION IN THE LABOR MARKET

GENDER INEQUITIES IN BRAZIL

Authors

Abstract

This article aims to explore the relationship between chronic diseases and the participation of men and women in the Brazilian labor market, based on the National Health Survey (PNS) of 2019. The findings point to distinct identity and economic profiles of workers, with disadvantaged earnings for sick women compared to men and non-sick women. Chronic diseases diminish the probabilities of labor force participation, becoming more intense with comorbidities, though the effect is less prominent for women. Men's labor decisions are predominantly hindered by mental illness and stroke, while women's decisions are affected by stroke and arthritis. Asthmatic men and women with chronic kidney conditions and musculoskeletal disorder have less difficulty in economic integration. These findings can guide strategies that take into consideration diverse social groups, comorbidities, and disease typologies that impact labor markets in (un)favorable ways.
