Abstract
This paper seeks to identify differences in unemployment among Brazilian youth during the Covid-19 pandemic using the least squares method and PNAD data. Among the results obtained, it is observed that the loss of occupation of youth decreases with income, being significant for the three lower per capita income groups, up to 2 minimum wages. This is true both for the general sample and for the subgroups considered, divided by gender and by large regions of the country. Another relevant fact is that women suffered a greater impact than men, characterised by an additional loss of 7 percentage points in occupation. These results show the importance of inclusion programs in the labour market to focus on socially vulnerable populations, giving greater support to the youth people from low-income families and considering the gender issues.
