This book is about unequal development and labour in Brazil, with
particular reference to the economic and social development of the
Northeast region, which has suffered persistent disadvantage. It
combines a historical approach, which shows how economic, social
and political institutions have been restructured over time, with
an analysis of changes in the pattern of production, employment,
unemployment and inequality up to the present day. It draws on
detailed case studies to examine the connections between local and
national production systems and critical labour market outcomes
such as informality in employment, precarious work and disparities
between genders, races and regions. The case of the Brazilian
Northeast illustrates processes, relationships and policy debates
that are important not only in Brazil but also elsewhere. The book
will be of interest to teachers, researchers and students in
economics, sociology, labour and development; public officials and
policy-makers; the international development community; and the
general public interested in Latin American affairs. They will find
in the book an original and systematic analysis of the factors
underlying unequal development and how they respond to different
policy regimes and suggestions about the issues that need to be
addressed in the future.
