Resumen
Descripción
The World Bank is carrying out a program
of Analytic and Advisory Activities (the Labor AAA) focused
on the interface between social protection programs and
labor supply and productivity. This focus relates to the
debates in Brazil surrounding the issue of helping transfer
beneficiaries graduate from poverty and from dependence on
transfer incomes. The AAA is structured along two pillars.
Pillar I addresses questions related to the impacts of
explicit and implicit public transfers on labor supply and
savings decisions. In particular, what is the effect of
public transfers such as Bolsa Familia and those related to
the social insurance system (pensions and unemployment) on
work incentives, early entry and retirement, sector choice,
and ultimately, public expenditures, human capital
accumulation and growth. Pillar II focuses on program design
and evaluation. The and goal is to identify how the
portfolio of transfer and active labor market programs can
be optimized to enhance the employability of the poor, help
promote their graduation from poverty, and, ultimately, from
dependence on transfer income. In addition, the Labor AAA
includes a component to assess public perceptions about
Social Protection programs. The Labor AAA is a living
program that seeks to respond to questions posed by
Brazilian policy-makers as they strengthen the
education-social protection-labor market nexus. This
approach is helping convene the different stakeholders at
the federal level by bringing evidence and policy analysis
to the debates.
