Abstract

The pandemic caused an economic, health, and social crisis worldwide, influencing people in different ways. Based on data from 2020 in Brazil, this study analyzed the relative probabilities of white women, black women, and black men being unemployed and working in the informal sector, in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, compared to white men. For this purpose, a single repeated cross-section was used, derived from PNAD COVID19 data for the months of May, August, and November. The analysis method was the binomial logit, and the results indicate the existence of distinct effects among men, women, black, and white individuals. Both black and white women had a lower probability of being employed compared to white men. However, in the informal employment field, the difference between black men and women and white men was only explained by some observed characteristics that distinguish these groups.
