Caraterização espacial da acessibilidade ao trabalho formal e informal da população de baixa renda em Fortaleza.

Abstract

In Fortaleza, inequalities in job accessibility among different socioeconomic groups has grown. H owever, the impact of the informal labor market on these inequalities is unknown. Therefore, the main objective of this paperis to spatially characterize the differences in levels of accessibility to formal and informal jobs of the low-income population in Fortaleza. First, the spatial distribution of low-income individuals was estimated, as well as the formal and informal jobs for this group. Then, the levels of accessibility for each type of employment was measured through the selection of an adequate indicator. Finally, the differences were compared, seeking to assess how they vary across the territory. The analyses corroborated the hypothesis that the levels of accessibility to informal jobs are better than to formal ones for the low-income population. I t was also found that, among informally employed workers, domestic workers are subject to the worst levels of accessibility
