Abstract

DINIZ, Alexandre; MENDONCA, Jupira  and  ANDRADE, Luciana. The Brazilian metropolitan regions and their social structure in a decade of changes, 2000-2010. GOT [online]. 2018, n.15, pp.143-176. ISSN 2182-1267.  https://doi.org/10.17127/got/2018.15.007.

This article analyzes the changes in the socio-occupational structure of the 15 major Brazilian metropolitan regions between 2000 and 2010. We seek to understand if the social and economic changes taking place over the decade could also be perceived in the metropolitan social structure. The occupation was used as a proxy of the social structure, whose source was the IBGE’s Demographic Censuses. The comparisons revealed partial changes in the metropolitan social structure, mostly the expansion of professional workers and the shrinking of small entrepreneurs and managerial and supervisory workers. On the other hand, contradictory movements were identified among the metropolitan regions, which will require further monitoring and investigation.

Keywords : Social hierarchy; Brazilian metropolises; Comparative analysis; Socio-occupational groups.
