Exclusão social multidimensional no nordeste do Brasil

Abstract

The study aims to analyze through the Social Exclusion Index (SEI) created by Lemos, 2012 the quality of life evolution indicators of the population in the Northeast of Brazil in the years 2005 to 2015. The SEI is composed of three indicators and three sub-indicators. The indicators are: education liabilities (PASSEDUC), defined by the percentage of the population over 15 years old who declare themselves to be illiterate; economic liabilities (PASSECON), percentage of the population that survives in households with income ranging from zero to two minimum wages; and environmental liabilities (PASSAMBI). The three sub-indicators that make up PASSAMBI are: deprivation of piped water, deprivation of basic sanitation and deprivation of systematic garbage collection. The results show us a general lack across the Northeast, where the high numbers of illiterates stand out, as well as the current income levels and the lack of access to piped water, sanitation and garbage collection. The study concludes that there was a little evolution in the 2015 indicators (end of the survey), comparing those that were recorded in 2009 by Lemos.
