RESUMO

This paper has as objective to investigate the Brazilian spouseslabor supply behavior and to empirically check the adequacy of a specific collective model. The collective labor supply model with distribution factors offers a theoretical structure to interpret the intra-household decision process and its results, the familieschoices of consumption and labor supply, who are Pareto efficient. Distribution factors are variables that affect the labor supply decision, but do not have impacts on the preference relations nor the budget constraint of the families. The sample of Brazilian families had been gotten from the "PNAD" and "Estatística de Registros Civis", for the year of 2004. The results do not reject the restrictions derived from the collective model, neither in its general form nor in the egoisti preferences form. Moreover, distribution factors, sex-ratio and participação em divórcios, are found to affect labor supply of husbands and wives in the directions predicted by the theory and to be statistically significant.
