SUMMARY:

The objective of the study is to analyze the impact of the covid-19 pandemic on the level and  composition of income of families in the Northern Semiarid. Considering that the Northern Semiarid  region is an area punished by drought, unemployment and poverty. The concern regarding the  income composition of families in the Northern Semiarid increased, when on March 11, 2020, the  World Health Organization (WHO) declared that Brazil was facing a pandemic named as COVID-19 highly contagious and lethal. However, with the arrival of COVID-19, there is increased attention  regarding the socioeconomic impacts on families that were already vulnerable in the region. It is  estimated to have occurred between January and May 2020 a loss of more than 248,000 formal jobs  (AQUINO and NASCIMENTO, 2020). The Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) (2021)  reported that the Northeast is one of the main regions responsible for the record increase in the  unemployment rate of 14.7% in the country. However, for this study, the data collected were from  PNADC and extracted by the software RStudio. In view of this, the preliminary results showed that  the Brazilian capitals have the highest proportion of people in the labor force, with 67.6%. The  lowest percentage occurs in localities classified as rest of the Federation Unit, i.e., outside  metropolitan regions, where, at the national level, only 61.4% of people aged 14 years or older are  within the labor force. That in SS, in 2019, the estimate is that virtually only half of the population  is within the labor force. This indicates, even before the pandemic, the greater difficulty of  participating in the labor force both in the Northeast generally and in SS specifically. Finally, it is  expected that the study of employment and income focused on the specific reality of the Northern  Semiarid region, from the approach of both the issues of local market structure and the attributes  of workers and households, will be input for strategic public policies directed to the recovery and  improvement of the living conditions of the population.
