Resumo

The major objective of this study is to estimate the earnings losses by adult men (18 to 65 years old) due to the lack of adequate health conditions, based on Luft (1974) and Haveman (1995). Data from the national nutritional and health survey (PNSN) from 1989 were used. The estimates of the productivity losses are obtained through the estimation of labor market participation and earnings equations, correcting for possible sample selectivity bias. The losses of individual's earnings, for those in the labor market, were higher than for those out of it. In addition, estimates show that southeastern and northeastern regions and the urban sector present the highest earnings losses. The results permit to conclude that labor earnings losses, due to adverse health conditions, are high in Brazil, estimated in 1.6 billion dollars per year, or 258 dollars per adult man per year.
