Evolução das desigualdades na acessibilidade ao trabalho na região metropolitana de Fortaleza no começo do século XXI.

Abstract

Certain groups, when faced with conditions that impose limitations on the access to desired activities, can be led to social exclusion, compromising the well-being and the participation of individuals in society. This may be a consequence of inadequate sociospatial distribution in accessibility because of deficiencies in transportation and land use systems. Thus, this work aims to characterize the evolution of inequalities in the accessibility to the workplace in the Metropolitan Region of Fortaleza by analyzing the data provided by the PNAD survey. It is possible to identify a general decrease in the level of accessibility to the workplace in the city, and more intense inequalities when comparing the levels of accessibility of the population when separated by gender and age. On the other hand, the self-segregation of high income groups seems to reduce the existing inequality in terms of income levels.
