The reorganization of the Brazilian economy, in the globalization process, has brought out changes in its productive structure,
and, consequently, changes in the job market. These changes had impact on the employment at the sectoral and state level,
with great concerns related to the labor relations and to the growing unemployment rates. In the 1990s, the change in the
focus of the development strategy, from a closed protected economy to an open economy with monetary control, has
originated changes in the income distribution as well in the labor market. Taking into consideration both of these aspects, the
goal of this paper is to study how the productive structure and the income distribution in the Brazilian economy have had an
impact over employment generation in 2002. This paper uses as a theoretical basis the Leontief-Miyazawa approach
considering the differences between sectors and the 27 Brazilian states.
INTRODUCTION
Based on data from the new System of National Accounts the
present work aimed at the construction of Brazilian input-output
tables for 2002 to implement the Leontief-Miyazawa Model. Thus,
developed this system, it was possible the application of LeontiefMiyazawa Model emphasizing the differences in terms of
generating employment and the regional differences for labor.
RESULTS

states and their representation in the total number of
employees - Brazil , 2002.

METHODOLOGY
The Leontief-Miyazawa Model
The analysis of the intersectoral structure will be carried through
the application of the Leontief-Miyazawa approach. The LeontiefMiyazawa analysis brings information on the structure of
production of the economy and the sectoral origin of the generated
income and also the sectoral distribution of income to households
in different income brackets, and the sectoral allocation of
consumption expenditures by households.

demand of a given sector (Agriculture) – Brazil, 2002.

and the total of income (Reais) in Brazilian states – 2002.
The interregional input-output table
The interregional input-output model, also called of “Isard Model”,
due to the application of Isard (1951), requires a mix of data, actual
or estimated, mainly on information flows intersectoral and
interregional.
