Decomposição da desigualdade da renda, determinantes da pobreza e intensidade do crescimento pró-pobre em setores e regiões do Brasil

Abstract

Thesis named " DECOMPOSITION OF INEQUALITY OF INCOME, DETERMINANTS OF POVERTY AND INTENSITY OF THE PRO-POOR GROWTH IN SECTORS AND REGIONS OF THE BRAZIL" is organized on three articles. The first one entitled "analysis of inequality income and their determinants in Brazilian´s regions: as having evidence for the years 2002 to 2005" in which it investigates inequality income degree between the Brazilian´s regions and their determinants in the period 2002-05. The results indicate that inequality intraregion is sharply bad and this element contributes to inequality income in the country. The second part of article it has results that one corroborate for assumption such similar variables cause a differential impact on the logarithm of household income per capita in each of the regions. Finally, using the decomposition of Oaxaca, assured the regionalization effect incorporated a new force over the period. The effect, said, of differentiation to factors allocation is reduced further remains as the main responsible for income contrasted between regions. It suggests an equal reduction in the allocation of attributes between those regions. The second article "PRO-POOR GROWTH: DIFFERENCES IN INTENSITY BETWEEN RURAL AND URBAN, EVIDENCE FOR THE PERIOD 2002-2005" is the premise of the relationship between economic growth recorded in the first half of the decade and the current behavior to income distribution. Then emphasis is on checking in Brazilian regions, where does in fact growth is more "pro-poor" in urban than in rural areas. The methodology of analysis employs the technical developed by Kakwani, Khandker and Son (2004), which uses the measures of poverty Poor (Proportion P0), Hiato Poverty (P1) and Poverty Severity (P2) quantifying-qualifying issue growth as "pro-poor" or not one. Results show predominance the core of economic growth pro-poor, and suggesting that poverty reduction was present in all regions and sectors, but its intensity is not enough to believe a reduction of distance that separates the region northeast of other regions. Third article issued " GOVERNMENT INCOME TRANSFERS AND LABOR FORCE PARTICIPATION" investigates the impact for governmental changing on based on information through population censuses 1991-2000. They are measured and analyzed the effects of the determinants of presence on Brazilian labor force through a utility randomly model. It appears that publics changing income is strong important for impact on individuals provision to engage in labor market. Other variables that affected significantly the labor force participation are geographic localization, education and fertility.
