Desenvolvimento econômico do estado do Ceará: uma análise descritiva para a trajetória temporal de 2006 a 2016

Abstract

With the purpose of evaluating the economic development of the State of Ceará, the present search makes a descriptive analysis of the municipalities for the period between 2006 and 2016. The analysis in question was made based on the FIRJAN Development Index that observes the areas of Health, Education, as well as Employment and Income. According to the results indicated, it is possible to deduce that the public policies instituted for health and education, Federal or State, have resulted in an important advance for the State. In contrast, the indicators of Employment and Income did not achieve the same successes as the others, and this could be a consequence of the serious financial crisis suffered by Brazil in the final years of the study that affected the economic growth of the country and, consequently, the States as well, besides raising unemployment rates, a significant component of the evolution of this indicator.
