Net Payrolls in Brazil, often referred to as the CAGED report, measures the net balance of formal employment creation in the country. It is calculated by subtracting the total number of dismissals from the total number of new hires registered under the formal labor system. This indicator is a vital sign of the health of the Brazilian labor market and overall economic momentum.
The data is compiled by the Ministry of Labor and Employment based on declarations from companies regarding hiring and firing of employees under the CLT (Consolidation of Labor Laws) regime.
