- Abstract
- The purpose of this article is to analyze the determinants of labour income in the Porto Alegre Metropolitan Area. The Humah Capital Theory considers that the formal education and experience or on-the-job training are the most important variables that explain income. The econometric model applied is based on the statistical income function developed by Jacob Mincer. In this model variables such as formal education and job experience are very important factors affecting income. In this econometric model, we have estimated different income levels by educational attainment, for individuals with same age. According the Human Capital Depreciation Theory, as ages increases, his income, after reaching its maximum level, tends to decrease. The statistical verification has used the "Pesquisa de Emprego e Desemprego da Região Metropolitana de Porto Alegre" Information regarding 17088 researched workers for the year2000.
