Demanda setorial por trabalho: uma aplicação do modelo de geração de emprego

Abstract

This paper describes a model capable of quantifying, in the short and medium run, the jobs necessary to meet exogenous increase in investment in 41 sectors of the Brazilian economy. Its methodology is based on the Leontief s Matrix, with endogenous equations for the behaviour of private consumption. We also investigate which industries, because of their backward and forward linkages with other activities, have the potential of leading to a higher production in the economy. We show that there is a set of industries that is simultaneously relevant for leading to a higher production and for demanding labor intensively. Finally, some considerations about the quality of the jobs created in each sector of the Brazilian economy are presented.
