Postos de trabalho x aumento populacional: um estudo comparativo entre as taxas de desemprego e crescimento populacional por região do Brasil de 2012 a 2022

Abstract

This paper analyzes the unemployment rate and the population by age group in the regions of Brazil in the 21st century. The present study seeks to assess which age groups are most impacted by unemployment and how many people are affected by it. The work consists of four chapters, containing, in addition to the introduction, descriptive theoretical chapters with the theory of work and population, and concepts and definitions about the study of the labor market and age pyramids, in addition to chapter 4 with the presentation of data and comparative analysis. The analyzed data are related to the characteristics of the economic formation of each region, in order to understand if there is a relationship between the current economic situation with the history of the population number and the unemployment rate. At the end of development, the projection of the population of each region is analyzed to assess the supply of labor and public policies for the coming decades. As for the final considerations, the work shows that: younger age groups are more impacted by unemployment; it does not necessarily occur with higher rates for less developed regions; the labor supply in Brazil suffers a reduction in the 21st century, with a smaller number of young people and an increase in the number of elderly people for each decade.
