Abstract:
The article analyzes the impact on education of young people of 15 to 18 years old who work, in Brazil in the last decade, using data from the national household survey (PNAD). We compare the school delay of those who never worked with those who work more than a year and the impact of additional years of working using a propensity score matching. The main conclusion is that working increases up to1,3 years the school delay but additional years of working have a much weaker effect.
