Brazilian Public Employment System
Total Network
- 1.635 National Employment System’s agencies through
local and regional partnerships;
- 578 agencies from the Ministry of Labor and
Employment own network (27 regional offices, 114 sub-
regional offices and 437 local offices);
- CAIXA Econômica Federal authorized agencies (for
Unemplyment-Insurance).
Overview
- More Employment System and Website (Sistema e Portal Mais Emprego)
- Integrated approach:
- Standardized service provided at all the agencies (SINE, SRTE and
authorized CAIXA agencies);
- Employment policies, the 3 pillars of the Unemployment Insurance Program –
financial assistance associated with labor intermediation and vocational
training;
- Makes it possible to require mandatory intermediation of unemployment
insurance beneficiary workers to job vacancies and vocational training
(compatible with the professional profile of the worker);
- Brings together in a single database the information of workers and
vacancies available in the SINE employment agencies with national scope.
- Pilot in the state of Paraíba in 2010 and expansion in 2011.

Consequences...
Gains Obtained with the Current Version
• Ease of accessing services of the More Employment
Website:
• Ease of learning how to use the features
• Ease of memorising the features
• Efficient access to the features:
• Faster access
• Fewer mistakes in accessing features
• Higher user satisfaction
New tool: “self-intermediation”
Employer Worker
The employer searches for workers that match the job’s profile, without viewing personal information.
The worker searches for job vacancies without viewing confidential information about the companies.
When the employer selects someone to participate the selection process, the system sends an e-mail to the worker with all the information about the interview.
“intermediation” by the employer
When the worker chooses a job vacancy, the system sends an e-mail to the worker with all the information about the interview. It also notifies the company.
“self-intermediation”
The worker can only perform “self-intermediation”:
- Up to 3 times (after that, he has to inform a Sine office how
was the interview).
- If he doesn’t have more than 3 pending issues in his profile
(missing information, lack of feedback to Sine offices, etc.).
The employer can only:
- Select worker after the job vacancy is validated by a Sine
office.
- Select worker that don’t have more than 3 pending issues.

Pronatec and Unemployment
Insurance
National Program for the Access to Technical Education and Employment
(Pronatec) – main goal:
• Expand and decentralize the availability of professional and technological
training courses in the country. In the first year of Pronatec, 2.25 million places were
filled in technical and professional qualification programs in over 400 areas of
knowledge.
• Highlight: Worker Training Scholarship, which provides training courses for
people in social vulnerability and workers of different profiles. In both cases, the
beneficiaries are entitled to free quality training, food, transportation and learning
materials that will allow subsequent employability.
• Minimum workload: 160 hours.
Changes – Unemployment Insurance Program
1 – Workers that receive the financial benefit of Unemployment Insurance for the
second time (or more) must demonstrate enrollment and attendance in course of
initial and continuing education or professional qualification. There's prerogative to
suspend benefits if such evidence is not demonstrated.
2 - The financial benefit will be canceled if the employee refuses to enroll in training
courses consistent with the declared or registered qualification.
Profile of the training courses:
I - free;
II - available in daytime;
III - limited to four hours daily;
IV - always held on weekdays.
Pronatec and Unemployment
Insurance
United registry for all low income population: it contains basic personal
and household identification and profile
household characteristics
schooling
work and income
household expenditures
vulnerable situations: homeless, child labour, indigenous…
Effective since 2003 as the data backbone for the expansion of the
conditional cash transfer Bolsa Família Program.
Today it is practically a census of Brazilian low income population
(US$6/day):
+ 20 mm low income families and + 70 mm people
30% of the Brazilian population.
What is the Unified Registry?
No duplication of registering efforts;
No duplication of benefits and services;
Identification of the universe of people still to cover;
Identification of inclusion errors;
Economies of scale: a single inclusion and updating
effort, automation effort and crosschecks with other
databases.
Why a Unified Registry?
More data quality for all public policies.
