Abstract

This article analyzes recent changes in the profile of the Brazilian labor structure, according to sector segmentation and specific occupational groups, especially during the 1990s. Theoretical aspects on the causes of the segmentation of the labor market are first examined. Empirical information related to structural changes in labor markets in the worldwide economy are then discussed, in order to locate Brazil in this context. Specifically, Indexes of Occupational Structure and Regional Difference Quotients for Brazil were drawn up. The results show that, besides significant occupational transformations, structural changes occurred in the regions, but not among them.
