Abstract
Between 2004 and 2013, Brazilian economy experienced economic growth with
improvement in income distribution. In this context, the reduction of the
participation of young people continued and it was accompanied by lower
participation of adult men and deceleration in increase of adult women?s
participation. The good performance of the labour market increased the
income of households in which women participated in economic activity.
Despite the improvement, in 2013, the number of households with low
socioeconomic status in which adult women faced difficulties to participate
in economic activity remained significant. Thus, the deceleration in the
increase in adult women participation rate occurred in the presence of a
significant number of women from low income and low participation rates,
while in households with higher income levels the participation rate of
adult women reached a very high level.
