Abstract

In this article, we address the theme ‘Future of Work’ with focus on the Brazilian Federal District’s public sector. Brazil is a federative republic and the federated entity in question has the eighth largest GDP among the 27 Brazilian federated entities (26 states and the Federal District). Since it is the seat of the federal executive branch, the Federal District has the highest GDP per capita, almost twice that of the runner-up, thus justifying the importance of analyzing its governmental structure. To do so, we reproduced the method of Kubota and Maciente (2019) to estimate the tendency to automate occupations, employing the occupation database of the Federal District’s executive civil servants. The results showed that jobs that require lower levels of education and involve more routine tasks are more prone to automation. Finally, based on our results, we performed a descriptive statistical analysis of schooling, age, and remuneration of public positions in the Federal District.
