Abstract
This study seeks to examine the determinants of the duration
in employment in all Northeastern states of Brazil for the years 1993
and 2003. In order to do so, we used the data from the National Survey
per Residence Samples (PNAD) which is done by the Brazilian Institute
of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), every year. Results obtained by the parametric model showed that the duration of the relationship
of employment is higher for men and older workers. With regard to the
regional aspect, it was found that residents in the states of Pernambuco
and Bahia - precisely those with the highest unemployment rates - have
higher turnover when compared to other northeastern states.
