Abstract

The article analyzes the profile of the working poor in Brazil based on PNADC data from 2012, 2016, 2019, and 2021. The objective is to investigate the relationship between productive and occupational structure and, secondarily, the role of the labor reform of 2017 in the expansion of in-work poverty. The results reveal the determining role of productive and occupational structures in reducing (or expanding) in-work poverty in relation to sectoral differences in average income of main work, level of formalization, underemployment of the workforce, and proportion of employed individuals in poverty.
