Avaliação de impacto da lei de cotas para pessoas com deficiência em Minas Gerais sobre os indicadores de inserção no mercado de trabalho

Abstract

This paper aims to analyze the possible impact of the Quotas Law on the income of people with disabilities in the labor market in Minas Gerais, based on microdata extracted from the Annual Social Information Report (RAIS) of 2017 and the Demographic Census of 2010. As a strategy for this analysis, a comparison was made between the wages of people with disabilities contemplated by the law, which are workers who have active bonds in companies with 100 or more employees, with the wages of other people. In order to do this, econometric methods were used - estimation of Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) models with and without controls, in addition to the propensity score matching method. With this, the estimation by pairing identified a positive impact, so that people with disabilities employed in companies with 100 or more employees have a wage advantage, on average, between 3% and 8% higher over other workers.
