Desconcentração e interiorização da economia fluminense no período de 1996 a 2005

Abstract

The objective of the research was to analyze the process of reduction in the concentration of the Rio de Janeiro’s economy, during the last decade (from 1996 to 2005). It was considered the empolyment in the activities: mi-neral extraction industry, manufacturing industry, industrial utility services, construction industry, trade, services, public administration and farming. The employment evolution, by regions of Rio de Janeiro, was studied with the shift-share analysis. By the results, Rio de Janeiro’s economy became less concentrated, reducing the participation of the metropolitan region in the job and the income. The growth of the mineral extraction industry, associate to the oil, is one of the main causes of these changes.
