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.'
