Resumo: This paper provides an empirical analysis of the insertion of the rural-urban migrant into the urban labor market in Brazil. Three different aspects are specifically considered. First, it provides evidence for the importance of human capital to the insertion of Brazilian rural-urban migrants between formal and informal sector. Second, it investigates if the Brazilian informal sector can be considered as a transitory stage for the migrant who intends to work in the formal sector. Finally, it analyses if the observed insertion of Brazilian rural-urban migrant in the labor market reflects his best possible choice given expected returns to his individual characteristics. The results indicate that the migrant human capital is positively associated to the chance of being allocated to formal sector and that there are barriers to entry in some sectors. The set of evidence is also consistent with the idea that urban informal sector represent a temporary stage for the migrant who intends to work in the formal sector.

Primeiro, fornece evidências sobre a importância do capital humano para a inserção do migrante brasileiro entre setores formal e informal. Em segundo lugar,investiga se o setor informal funciona como um estágio de transição para os migrantes à procura de um emprego melhor no setor formal e, em terceiro, examina se a alocação do migrante rural-urbano no mercado de trabalho reflete a sua melhor escolha possível,considerando os retornos esperados para as características individuais. Os resultados indicam que a probabilidade de ingresso do migrante no setor formal é diretamente relacionada com a dotação de capital humano, e que há barreiras à entrada em alguns segmentos. As evidências sugerem que boa parte dos migrantes ocupados como assalariados na economia informal procura, após certo tempo de vida nas cidades, um melhor emprego no setor formal.Universidade de São Paulo.
