A oferta de trabalho voluntário no Brasil

Trabalho voluntário
Abstract in Portuguese
Este artigo visa investigar os determinantes econométricos da oferta de trabalho voluntário no Brasil. Nas últimas décadas, foram realizados estudos empíricos buscando explicitar os fatores que levam os indivíduos a trabalhar voluntariamente em alguns países, mas nenhuma averiguação desse caráter foi feita entre os brasileiros ainda. De fato, pouco se sabe a respeito dos trabalhadores voluntários no Brasil. Utilizando dados da PNAD/IBGE, esta pesquisa mostra que eles eram cerca de 208 mil em 2012, o equivalente a 0,17% da população de 15 a 64 anos de idade no país, e trabalhavam em média 21 horas por semana. Os resultados do pooled Probit e Tobit indicam que pessoas com menores rendimentos potenciais do trabalho (custo de oportunidade) têm maior probabilidade de serem voluntárias e dedicam mais tempo ao voluntariado. A oferta de trabalho voluntário também aumenta com a renda domiciliar dos demais moradores e a escolaridade, e sua relação com a idade tem formato de U. Entre os homens, a renda não proveniente do trabalho é outro fator que exerce uma influência positiva sobre a decisão de despender algumas horas por semana em atividades voluntárias. Já entre as mulheres, a disponibilidade para trabalhar voluntariamente diminui com a presença de crianças no domicílio. De maneira geral, a magnitude dos efeitos obtidos através do modelo Probit é mais relevante.

Abstract in English
This paper aims to investigate the econometric determinants of volunteer labor supply in Brazil. In recent decades, empirical studies trying to identify the factors that lead individuals to volunteer have been conducted in some countries, but no investigation of such character has been made in Brazil so far. Indeed, little is known about the nation's volunteer workers. Using data from PNAD/IBGE, this research shows that they were about 208 thousand in 2012, or 0.17% of the Brazilian population aged 15-64 years, and worked on average 21 hours a week. The pooled Probit and Tobit results indicate that people with lower potential wages (opportunity cost) are more likely to volunteer and devote more time to voluntary activities. Volunteer labor supply also increases with the income of other household members and higher levels of education. Furthermore, there is a U-shaped relation between volunteering and age. Among men, income from other sources than wages is another factor that has a positive influence on the decision to spend some hours a week volunteering. Among women, having a child at home diminishes the willingness to volunteer. In general, the magnitude of the effects of the Probit model is more relevant.
