摘要:The probability of working children and adolescents aged between 5 and 17 years expe-
riencing work-related injury was estimated using the National Household Sample Survey
(PNAD – Pesquisa Nacional de Amostras por Domic´ılio) for 2001. Due to the endoge-
nous nature of the “use of personal protective equipment” variable that appears on the
right-hand side of the “work-related injury” equation, a recursive simultaneous probit
model was estimated. In addition, the marginal effects were discussed and the expres-
sions analytically derived. The results showed that tools and chemical products were
the main cause of work-related injury, but variables such as the educational level of the
household head and family income were also important. Moreover, workers living in the
northeast of Brazil and working in the agricultural sector were most likely to experience
work-related injury.
