Abstract

This study investigated the effects of Brazilian federative units on per capita household income, using microdata from the 2017-2018 Household Budget Survey (POF), conducted by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE). The objective was to analyze how the average years of schooling and the food security status of households influence per capita disposable family income, considering how federative units can impact this income. POF microdata were used, applying multilevel regression, suitable for capturing hierarchical effects, using the explanatory variables: average years of schooling and food security status. The choice of these variables was supported by literature indicating education as a crucial factor in improving family income and promoting economic development, and food security as a direct indicator of living conditions and health, influencing quality of life and the ability to generate income. The results showed significant differences in income between households in different federative units. The average years of schooling of residents and their food security status significantly impacted per capita family income. It was concluded that public policies should consider these regional variations to promote a more equitable distribution of income.
