A Covid-19 e seus efeitos na renda dos músicos brasileiros

Abstract

This article presents partial results of a research on the musicians’ job market during the Covid-19 pandemic. The research was based on a simple and multiple regression analysis and performed with data collected through an online questionnaire (RedCap). It was possible to identify and compare demographic and socioeconomic features of musicians from the larger regions of Brazil. This method allowed us to examine the relationship between loss of income and musicians’ demographic, socioeconomic, academic level, and employment features. Results show that musicians who faced the greatest income reduction were among the self-identified as blacks, those with lower academic level (less years of study), the younger ones who did not have formal employment before the pandemic. Male musicians, who are largely the main family providers, are also among those who experienced more income loss when compared with the female share of the sample, who, in turn, have higher academic level.
