Uma análise empírica da evolução da renda familiar no Brasil e no Ceará a partir da Constituição, 1988-2019

Abstract

In Brazil, since consumption is monetarily made possible, the focus on income is fundamental to explain the level of well-being of families. This work proposes to investigate the evolution of average income since the enactment of the Federal Constitution of 1988, at individual and family levels and in the context of Brazil and Ceará, from 1988-2019. Based on microdata from the National Household Sample Survey (PNAD), we gathered information about income from all sources and the main job, level of education and gender, in order to obtain composition statistics on family income and of the awards obtained by level of schooling achieved. Thus, it was found that, despite constitutional advances, the highest incomes are obtained by individuals with higher education. However, a component of inequality between men and women remains.
