Study on the Prevalence and Indirect Tangible Costs of Violence Against Children
2 semanas atrás
The proposed assignment aims to estimate the prevalence of VAC in Brazil and the loss of productivity over the life cycle of individuals who experienced violence during childhood and adolescence, as an indirect tangible cost, in order to subsidize the estimation of the economic cost of VAC in Brazil conducted by the UNICEF and the Ipea to support evidence-based policy formulation.
The consultancy will employ statistical and econometric methods to conduct quantitative analysis of secondary data from administrative records and nationally representative household surveys, such as the Continuous National Household Sample Survey (PNAD Contínua) and the National Health Survey (PNS), the Mortality Information System (SIM) and the Hospitalization Information System (SIH), and Notifiable Diseases Information System (Sinan), the National System for Socio-Educational Services (Sinase) and the the SUAS Census – Unified Social Assistance System.

- Identify and extract relevant data from the administrative records and household surveys to calculate the prevalence of VAC in Brazil by type: homicides, suicides, non-lethal physical assaults, sexual violence, psychological violence, negligence, self-harm.
- Apply econometric exercises to estimate prevalence rates of different types of violence, using as a reference the approach developed by Cerqueira and Soares in the IPEA Discussion Paper, which explores the integration of different data sources to correct underreporting and produce more accurate estimates.
- Analyze productivity losses over the life cycle of individuals who experienced violence during childhood and adolescence. Estimate the causal effect of exposure to violence on years of schooling, using data from the 2021 PNAD Contínua. Estimate a life-cycle earnings model to project the counterfactual wage-earning trajectory in the absence of schooling loss, thereby quantifying future productivity loss.
- Elaborate reports consolidating key findings from the analyses and providing evidence-based policy recommendations. All key assumptions and limitations should be clearly described. The data will complement and provide inputs for the broader study of UNICEF and IPEA on economic costs of VAC and its prevention and response.
The consultant will work in close collaboration with UNICEF and Ipea.
