Abstract

This paper assesses the impact of the Employment Protection Programme (EPP) on employment outcomes in Brazil. The EPP was a work-sharing programme with a reduced work schedule that featured wage subsidies. It was created to preserve jobs during a recession that started in 2014. Using administrative data of the programme, the results of this study show that establishments that participate in the programme present higher employment levels than non-participant establishments during and after the programme. Furthermore, the effect of the EPP on employment increases over time. These findings suggest that the programme was an effective tool to sustain employment levels.

工作共享能否在经济衰退期间维持就业？巴西的证据

本文评估了巴西就业保护计划（EPP）对就业结果的影响。就业保护计划是一项工作分担计划，缩短了工作时间，并提供工资补贴。该计划的设立是为了在 2014 年开始的经济衰退期间保住工作岗位。本研究使用该计划的行政数据，结果显示，在计划期间和之后，参与计划的企业比未参与计划的企业就业水平更高。此外，就业促进计划对就业的影响随着时间的推移而增加。这些结果表明，该方案是维持就业水平的有效工具。
