O impacto da certificação do Ensino Médio sobre outcomes de mercado de trabalho: evidências a partir do modelo Diferença em Diferenças

Abstract

In this master thesis, we will investigate a segment of our public education policy, reflected in Enem - National High School Exam and Encceja - National Exam for Certification of Youth and Adult Skills. Both have several important objectives. In this study we chose to reflect the aspect of certification and how it dialogues with the labor market. It will be an investigative work based on data from secondary sources of Government bases (Inep - ENCCEJA and ENEM, and RAIS), looking for understanding how certification can impact the participation in the labor market more specifically in employability and wages, which will be the outcomes of interest. We will explain this assessment joining the datas and applying the regression by using Diference in Differences (DIF in DIF) model looking to demonstrate a picture of an individual, before and after the certification. We obtained from this work important results indicating that high school certification really impacts positively on the employability and wages of the individual, which means promising steps for the future, and relevant statistics for public policies related to the area of education and employment.
