This book examines how transformations in Brazil's social, economic
and political organization affect the demographic behaviour of
people who live in different parts of the country and who occupy
different positions in the social system. The authors review the
history of unequal development and document the concentration of
income and land ownership. Using data from the 1970 and 1980
censuses, they show how the Brazilian style of economic growth
unequally affected different population subgroups. Mortality
estimates for white and non-white people measure the consequences
of racial inequality on the life chances of children. Other
chapters investigate rural out-migration, the impact of Amazon
colonization schemes on rural poverty, and the implications of
differential rates of population growth among rich and poor
households for future patterns of inequality and underemployment.
The overall perspective places the concept of inequality at the
centre of the study of demographic and structural change.
