ABSTRACT
The permanence of workers in the labor market is of great importance for the economy of acountry. This is mainly due to gainsin human capital for workers, especially when young. From theperspective of young workers, this study seeks to analyze the incidence of labor turnover among Brazilian youth in the years 2001, 2009 and 2015, as well as to determine the causes behind highestturnover levels specifically for the year 2015. Based on data from the National Sample Survey (PNAD) of 2015, the logit ordered econometric level has been applied to identify factors that are associated with the behavior of individuals in different age groups, with respect to their propensities to be at a high or low turnover level in the labor market. The results show that people between the ages of 18 and 35 are more likely to leave their jobs and that factors such as higher schooling reduce the likelihood of high turnover in the labor market.
