Abstract: International literature presents evidence that measures of no job satisfaction can serve as good predictors for labor market exits. Thus, these measures could be also important to the understanding of the differences of mobility in the labor market between men and women, complementing other indicators commonly used in literature, such as labor income, unemployment, etc. Workers classified as unsatisfied in the occupation are probably those who contribute most to the turnover in labor market, being more vulnerable to unemployment, inactivity or self-employment. As proxy for non satisfaction at work, we apply the variable that identifies if individual occupied has taken any measure to get work. The results show that satisfaction at work is an important determinant of the probability of unemployment or inactivity and self-employment. Moreover, gender seems important to determine the transition to inactivity and unemployment, but not for self-employment when the worker is dissatisfied.
