摘要：The aim of this paper was to verify which characteristics contribute to informal micro-entrepreneurs decision to not contribute to social security among those eligible to the MEI group. Microdata of the Pesquisa Nacional por Amostra de Domicílios (PNAD) 2009, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 were used to estimate logistic regressions. The results of the model show that micro-entrepreneurs in the construction sector are the ones that present the greatest chances of not contributing to social security. On the other hand, it was found that, as of 2011, there was an increase in the chances of a social security contribution by the micro-entrepreneur belonging to the first income band (up to R$ 1,000.00). The increase in contribution to social security would be the result of a change in the behavior of lower-income micro-entrepreneurs.
