Evaluation of Brazilian Work Sharing Program in the Context of COVID-19

The objective of this TC is to produce evidence on the effects of the Emergency Benefit Program (BEm) on labor market outcomes. This work-sharing initiative, implemented in Brazil during the critical years of the coronavirus pandemic, provided subsidies to cover working hours and salary reductions. Such evidence is scarce in Latin America, and even less is known about the implementation of these programs under extreme unpredictable emergency scenarios. The TC aims to address this evidence gap.
