Structure of employment associated with international trade in Brazil from a gender perspective

Revista CEPAL, 2024

Abstract: This article analyses the volume and structure of female employment linked to Brazil’s foreign trade with its different partners in 2019, on the basis of estimations made from the Brazilian input-output table and on trade and employment statistics. Jobs linked to exports account for a small share of total employment in Brazil, especially in the case of women. Comparing the number of jobs generated by exports with those threatened by imports, the balance is smaller for women than for men. In addition, the quality of export-related employment is below the economy-wide average, for both women and men alike. Nonetheless, trade-related jobs in Brazil vary across trading partners, reflecting the country’s heterogeneous pattern of trade specialization.
