Decomposição estrutural da variação do emprego nos setores industriais no brasil entre os anos de 2000 e 2009

The aim of this article is to analyze the employment variation in manufacturing industries between years 2000-2009 in Brazil. It employs an input-output methodology, by means of employment structural decomposition into intensity, technology, demand, growth and total effects. The main results showed that in the period Brazilian manufacturing sectors added up 4.38 million jobs, which represented 25% of total jobs created in the country. Among the studied effects, growth and intensity shall be highlighted as the main responsible outcomes. Considering total impacts, the industries that showed greater relative increase in jobs where: food and beverage, clothes and construction. The results lead to the conclusion that, in the studied period, manufacturing in Brazil showed an increase in employment rates, with technology, despite not being the lone factor, having produced a positive impact in job creation.

Criação e Destruição de Empregos no Setor Primário no Brasil entre 2000 e 2009

The objective of this paper is to analyze the employment variation in primary sector between the years 2000-2009 in Brazil. We used the methodology of input-output through the structural decomposition of the employment variation divided into effects of employment intensity, technology, demand structure, demand growth and total net variation. The main results showed that between the periods studied, there was a decrease of 773 thousand jobs in the sector of Agriculture and Extraction. We also find that the Agriculture, Forestry and Lumbering, and Livestock and Fishing sectors were the responsible for the employment decrease through the intensity effect. Looking at the total job variation, we found out that a significant amount of jobs were created in the Oil and Natural Gas and Iron sectors. Despite of that, and mostly because these sectors have a minor participation in the Brazilian primary sector, this employment increase was not enough to counterbalance the job decrease in the other sectors.
