A ascensão das start-ups de transporte particular de passageiros no Brasil e sua relação com o desemprego

Abstract

Private passenger transport has undergone changes and adaptations in the last 5 years with the rise of start-ups, such as Uber, Cabify and 99, which offer their partners (drivers) an income opportunity. In the same period, Brazil experienced a steady increase in the number of unemployed people. Seeking a solution to unemployment, workers found private passenger start-ups as an alternative. Thus, despite the unfavorable economic scenario, start-ups had a great business opportunity with the unemployed, who until then had a durable asset in their assets (automobile) and which, for the most part, did not generate financial gain, thus enabling, the realization of the partnership, between unemployed and start-up. From this scenario, for the foundation of the study, we used the models in State Space. The results were satisfactory and showed that in the modeling of the series containing the evolution of private passenger transport start-ups in Brazil, the component that represents the volume of unemployed (explanatory variable) is statistically significant, corroborating with similar works already published.
