Análise do impacto do crescimento sobre a pobreza e a desigualdade na economia brasileira no período 1995-2012

Abstract

This work is proposed to analyse the impact of economic growth in poverty and inequality in the period 1995 to 2012. The purpose was to make a parallel between the phenomena of economic growth and development, different concepts, but sometimes used like synonyms. The conception of economic development used was based on the approach related to increased levels of comprehensive income distribution, here considered under the perspective of poverty reduction as well as of the inequality. Economic growth was represented for the variable GDP (Gross domestic product) brasileiro, using actual prices, now on poverty and inequality, picked up respectively, the amount of poor households and the gini index. Through an econometric analysis, could infer that the economic growth promoted an reduction of poverty and inequality in the study period, but the effect was greater for first variable in question. Accordingly, if the intention of public policies is reduce poverty and inequality concurrently, beyond of promote measures to encourage economic growth, you must also invest in human capital and other additional strategies.
