Abstract

This paper studies the spatial and sectorial dynamics of formal employment in the Brazilian regions in the 90's. A series of structural indicators and of growth performance are analyzed. The structure indicators employed in this paper are: Gini's index to evaluate the degree of spatial dispersion of sectors between the twenty seven states of Federation; Gini's index to evaluate the degree of sectorial diversification of each state; and structural change index to evaluate the degree of structural transformation or sectorial composition change. The economic performance indicators regard level and growing of product and employment, and variability of product, given by its own variation coefficient. The relations between these indicators are analyzed by calculating correlation coefficients.
