abstract: 'Drawing on minority enclave theory and resilience theory in
entrepreneurship, we test whether, with the onset of the COVID-19
pandemic, the self-employed lost more hours than the employed and
whether traditionally disadvantaged self-employed racial minorities
faced harsher penalties in the form of reduced hours of work. Though
spatially concentrated ethnic minority colocations could improve
business outcomes in the non-crisis period, with the pandemic affecting
all the members in the enclave, the very dependencies in minority
enclaves could be a liability. Using a large-scale survey during the
COVID-19 pandemic conducted by the Brazilian government, we draw on a
one-to-one nearest neighbor matched pair sample of 19,626 employed
(public or private sector) and self-employed individuals, and control
for industry-sector-interview-location fixed effects. The results show
that self-employed people, compared to employed, reported a greater loss
of hours. At the sample level, black self-employed people on aggregate
lost 9,051 hours per month, and mixed race self-employed people on
aggregate lost 27,880 hours per month. The disproportionate loss of work
hours by the self-employed from racial minority groups during the
COVID-19 pandemic in a developing country context calls for a closer
examination and assessment of the long-term impact of COVID-19 on racial
minorities.
Plain English Summary Large-scale evidence from Brazil: racial
minorities lost more hours per month than other groups during the
COVID-19 pandemic. Racial minorities face systemic discrimination in
setting up and developing their businesses, especially in developing
countries. We test whether during the COVID-19 pandemic self-employed
racial minorities in Brazil lost more hours of work relative to employed
racial minorities. We create a matched sample of employed and
self-employed individuals based on age, sex, education categories,
COVID-19 self-reported symptom index, income deciles, house ownership
categories, week of the interview, state of the interview, and industry.
We find that across racial minority groups, the hours lost by the
self-employed were substantive during the pandemic, signaling that
Brazilian policymakers should pay greater attention to the relief funds
allocated to and policies geared towards self-employed racial
minorities.'
