In the current multifaceted context, there are actors who benefit from global structural design while others are being imposed barriers to access wealth - which, it is argued, if there was a global distributional architecture focused on fairness, could be better allocated so as to benefit a larger number of individuals. In this matter, mainly using bibliographical research, the paper has the objective to demonstrate that the Rawlsian view, although applicable to hermetic societies, is inadequate for a world submerged in economic inequalities highly tainted by the form of historical, predatory and usurpatory accumulation imposed by the more economically developed countries in relation to the global poor. Therefore, this paper seeks to demonstrate, by an overall analysis and with the scope of the global justice theory as explained by Thomas Pogge, the way in which the global structuring selectively harms, still today, – namely, specially through international resources and loans privileges –, countries, keeping them – or, more often, their populations – in poverty [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper analyses the project of the private insurance sector to assume the role of protagonist in guaranteeing social protection and investigates its consequences for the management of inequalities. In Brazil, as in other countries, austerity policies have been implemented causing significant impacts on social insurance and benefits reduction. Based on multisite ethnographic research (2017-2019), developed with insurance market agents, this article analyses the processes of financialisation of social protection and popularisation of private insurance in contemporary Brazil.

This paper used the Mankiw, Romer and Weil (1992) model, with crosssection and panel data and spatial controls, to analyze the influence of spatial phenomena on inequality and economic growth in Brazilian municipalities between 1980-2010. The results indicated that reducing spatial heterogeneity (e.g.: differences in culture, preferences and natural resources) helps to combat inequalities, while the absence of spatial spillovers (from trade, technological diffusion and migration, for instance) tends to worsen it. Ignoring these spatial effects would result in underestimations of the rate of income convergence and overestimates about the returns on physical capital and human capital. Finally, being close to a "central place", as in the case of state capitals, seems to facilitate the economic growth. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents the results of a study on how students build memories in School's Physical Education classes. To this end, we seek to discuss how youth and gender inequalities in high school can affect teenage girls and influence them into excluding these classes. The investigation was carried out through semi-structured interviews with sixty 3rd year high school students, in six public schools and six private schools in Pernambuco. The study reveals that the students' experiences are marked by a process of gender inequality, which is strenghted by the absence of teacher's intervention. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper intends to understand how the mandatory wearing of white uniforms by babysitters in the south side of the city of Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil, is characterized by social segregation. The uniform as a social symbol "defines and determines" the position of invisibility and subordination occupied by these workers. Women who work as babysitters at Leblon, on the south side of the city of Rio de Janeiro, were interviewed for this study. Wearing the uniform is about the identification and safety of the worker. In the specific case of the babysitter, however, the uniform has a significant symbolism, which refers to submission, exclusion, and segregation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper aims to calculate and to analyze a rural development index for the municipalities of Pará state, Brazil. The index was calculated by the factor analysis method. The variables used in the model were retrieved from the 2000 and 2010 population census; Human Development Atlas - UNDP (2013), and census of agriculture (2006). The results unveiled that most of the municipalities of Para presented low rural development index values. The greater is the isolation and the difficulty to access the areas, the worse it is the infrastructure found in those rural areas. Colonization of new areas was not followed by the implementation of services and the required infrastructure to provide life quality for both native and the migratory population that installed in the rural areas of Para state, Brazil.

In a recent paper published in Novos Estudos Cebrap, Arminio Fraga maintains that the Brazilian State, in addition to being costly and inefficient, acts to deepen inequality. The economist proposes a set of reforms seeking its drastic reduction. Our article aims to refute this assessment, based on theoretical and empirical arguments and extensive literature, and to point out the risks to economic and social policies brought about by the suggested reform agenda.

Land concentration, historically based on the Gini index, has always been a central element in the theoretical debate on the Brazilian agrarian question. This paper try to point out a series of imprecisions in the use of the Gini index to analyze the land concentration. From the reading of the bibliographic material selected and the calculation of the Gini index simulating several hypothetical situations for a municipality in the state of Minas Gerais, it was verified that the analysis of the land concentration made only from the calculation of this index can lead to mistakes in the considerations on the Brazilian land structure. Some complementary factors that should be considered in the analysis of land concentration are also presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Este trabalho buscou identificar e dar visibilidade às múltiplas dimensões da pobreza, incluindo aí seus aspectos espaciais e as particularidades das desigualdades de gênero em Porto Alegre. Ele está baseado em resultados de pesquisa, na qual foram entrevistadas 16386 pessoas vivendo em situação de pobreza nas diferentes regiões da cidade. A pesquisa buscou uma mudança de foco na análise sobre pobreza ao enfatizar o peso das dimensões que as pessoas consideram relevante para uma vida "digna de ser vivida". Os resultados evidenciaram a importância de dimensões como habitação, saúde e educação para viabilizar às pessoas uma vida "digna de ser vivida". Igualmente, mostraram as diferenças nas privações entre homens e mulheres, a heterogeneidade entre as regiões de Porto Alegre e, em especial, as formas como homens e mulheres vivenciam e manifestam suas percepções acerca da pobreza e das privações.This paper aims to discuss the importance of multidimensionality in understanding poverty in Porto Alegre, as well as to identify the spatial and gender disparities among its regions. The paper was based on a dataset from a survey conducted in 2007, in a two-stage methodology in which 16386 people living in poverty were interviewed. The results enabled the researchers to highlight the importance of dimensions such as habitation, health and education to allow people to "live a "dignified life". It also shows the differences in deprivations between men and women, the heterogeneity among the Porto Alegre regions and, in particular, the way in which men and women shape their perceptions of poverty and deprivation.

Este trabalho analisa a distribuição de grupos sócio-ocupacionais do mercado de trabalho brasileiro. Para cumprir com o objetivo proposto, apresenta alguns dos principais elementos do processo de formação das estruturas sociais modernas e analisa a composição dos grupos sócio-ocupacionais identificados em relação a uma série de características socioeconômicas. O pressuposto dessas análises é que a combinação entre a inserção ocupacional e o rendimento dos indivíduos cumpre um papel fundamental na definição dos complexos padrões sociais brasileiros. De maneira geral, a estrutura sócio-ocupacional proposta permite destacar o elevado grau de desigualdade e o baixo padrão sócio-ocupacional brasileiro, além de discriminar consistentemente importantes grupos socioeconômicos da população.This paper analyzes the distribution of socio-occupational groups in the Brazilian labor market. In order to reach such purpose, this paper introduces some key elements of the process of formation of the modern social structure and analyzes the composition of such socio-occupational groups in relation to a series of socioeconomic characteristics. The hypothesis of these analyses is that the combination of occupational position and individual income plays an important role defining the complexity of the Brazilian social patterns. Overall, the proposed class structure allows to stress the high level inequality and the low socio-occupational patterns in Brazil, as well to discriminate consistently important socioeconomic groups in the population.

Após discutir o conceito de polarização de uma distribuição de renda, é analisada a distribuição do rendimento do trabalho principal dos empregados na agricultura brasileira no período 1992-2007. Considerando o período 1995-2007, após a estabilização monetária, verifica-se que a desigualdade daquela distribuição é estável e que o grau de polarização apresenta tendência decrescente. Também é examinada a evolução da desigualdade entre empregados permanentes e temporários e entre empregados sem carteira e com carteira de trabalho assinada, destacando o diferente papel desempenhado pelo salário mínimo na distribuição da renda dentro dessas categorias de trabalhadores. Finalmente, mostra-se que houve crescimento da participação do componente inter-regional na desigualdade da distribuição dos salários na agricultura brasileira.The paper discusses the concept of polarization of an income distribution and examines the earnings distribution of employees in Brazilian agriculture in the period 1992-2007. Considering the period 1995-2007, after the monetary stabilization, it is shown that the inequality of that distribution is stable and that its degree of polarization has a decreasing trend. Next, the paper analyses the changes in the inequality between permanent and temporary employees and between those with or without the legal employee's document, pointing to the different role of the legal minimum wage in influencing the earnings distribution within these worker categories. Finally, the paper shows that the share of regional differences in the inequality of the distribution of wages in Brazilian agriculture has increased.

This paper deals with the relation between lethal violence and inequality under two approaches. The first one is the inequality in the risk of becoming a victim of homicide among various kinds of people. In this sense, the profile of victims of lethal violence in Brazil is very clear: young black males. The second approach concerns the relation between income inequality and homicide rates. This relation depends on the unit of analysis. Data analysed here, using a multivariate model to estimate factors associated to municipal homicide rates, reveal that it is the average income of the poorest sections of the population rather than income inequality that is directly related to lethal violence. These results contradict those obtained in the literature when countries are compared to each other, which underlines the importance of the choice of unit of analysis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

O título do artigo refere-se a três conjuntos de questões fundamentais e controvertidas, não resolvidas entre os cientistas sociais, para não falar dos cidadãos sociais. Duas delas são basicamente conceituais e teóricas, a outra é, ao mesmo tempo, conceitual e empírica. Em primeiro lugar, o que é globalização? De que forma devemos conceitualizá-la? Em segundo, que tipos de desigualdade podem ser identificados e quais são os mais pertinentes? E, em terceiro lugar, que tipos de processos geram a desigualdade global que estamos observando e vivenciando? Não podemos esperar encontrar uma resposta direta para qualquer dessas perguntas, já que nenhuma delas a tem. Os objetivos deste artigo são o de contribuir para o esclarecimento das alternativas, bem com de eventuais implicações para a sua adoção, propor uma determinada abordagem conceitual-analítica e apresentar argumentos empíricos para uma abordagem multifacetada sobre a geração de desigualdade no mundo. A globalização e a desigualdade são duas encruzilhadas das ciências sociais e da filosofia social, abordadas aqui pelo autor a partir de sua formação como sociólogo e cientista político.This paper refers to three sets of fundamental issues which are still controversial and unsettled among social scientists. Two are basically conceptual or theoretical, one is both conceptual and empirical. First, what is globalization? How should it be conceptualized? Second, what kinds of inequality can be distinguished, and what are the most pertinent? Third, what kinds of processes produce the global outcomes of inequality that we are observing and experiencing? None of the three questions above has, and can be expected to get one straight answer. The aims of this paper are to conribute to a clarification of alternatives and their implications, to argue a certain conceptual-analytical viewpoint, and to provide some empirical arguments for a multi-faceted approach to the production of inequality in the world. Globalization and inequality are two crossroads of the social sciences and of social philosophy. This writer is reaching them from a background as a sociologist and as a political scientist.

In the last decade, the Brazilian economy recovered its growth capacity to create jobs, raise income and reduce inequality. However, since 2011, the Brazilian economy suffers from a persistent difficulty in obtaining higher growth due to the ongoing international crisis and the reduction in the investment rate. This paper, therefore, discusses some of the challenges of Brazilian growth to achieve a more equitable distribution of income, with a view to institutions of public sector policies, national infrastructure and social work.
