Resumo: This paper analyzes the effect of family background on earnings from labor and on returns to education in Brazil, comparing results from white and black workers. We estimate earnings equations using cross-sectional data from the 1996 and 2014 National Household Sample Survey (Pnad/IBGE); parents’ education is used as a proxy for family background. Our findings show that having a university degree significantly increases labor earnings, but less so for the blacks. Although the diploma effect and the racial wage gap decreased over the 1996-2014 period, there was no decrease in the influence of family background on individuals’ performance in the job market.

Se calculan ecuaciones de salarios con datos de 1996 y 2014 de la Pesquisa Nacional por Amostra de Domicílios (Pnad/IBGE), adoptándose la escolaridad de los padres del trabajador como proxy de su contexto familiar. Se verificó que el hecho de poseer un diploma universitario ocasiona efectos pronunciados sobre la remuneración, pero con menor magnitud en el caso de los negros. Entre 1996 y 2014, a pesar de observarse la disminución del efecto diploma, así como la diferencia salarial entre blancos y negros, no hubo reducción de la importancia del background familiar para el desempeño de los individuos en el mercado laboral.Cet article examine l’effet du contexte familial sur les revenus de travail et sur le aux rendement de l’éducation au Brésil, dans la comparaison des résultats des travailleurs noirs et blancs. À cette fin, des équations de revenus sont estimées a partir des données de la Pesquisa Nacional por Amostra de Domicílios (Pnad/IBGE). La scolarisation des parents est utilisée comme proxy du contexte familial. Les résultats montrent que le diplôme universitaire augmente substantiellement les rémunérations, bien que de façon moins prononcée chez les travailleurs noirs. Entre 1996 et 2014, malgré la chute dans l’effet diplôme ainsi que dans l’écart de salaires entre blancs et noirs, l’importance du contexte familial sur la performance des individus au marché du travail n’a pas décliné.Este trabalho analisa o efeito do background familiar sobre os rendimentos do trabalho e sobre os retornos da escolaridade no Brasil, comparando os resultados obtidos por brancos e negros. São estimadas equações de rendimento com dados de 1996 e 2014 da Pesquisa Nacional por Amostra de Domicílios (Pnad/IBGE), adotando- -se a escolaridade dos pais do trabalhador como proxy de seu background familiar. Os resultados mostram que ter um diploma universitário tem efeito pronunciado sobre os rendimentos, porém em menor magnitude para os negros. Entre 1996 e 2014, apesar de ter ocorrido uma diminuição do efeito diploma, bem como do diferencial salarial entre brancos e negros, não houve redução da importância do background familiar para o desempenho dos indivíduos no mercado de trabalho.Fundação Carlos Chagas2020-10-08info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://publicacoes.fcc.org.br/cp/article/view/6700Cadernos de Pesquisa; Vol. 50 No. 177: jul./set.2020; 845-864Cadernos de Pesquisa; Vol. 50 Núm. 177: jul./set.2020; 845-864Cadernos de Pesquisa; Vol. 50 No. 177: jul./set.2020; 845-864Cadernos de Pesquisa; v. 50 n. 177: jul./set.2020; 845-8641980-53140100-1574reponame:Cadernos de Pesquisa (Fundação Carlos Chagas.
