The focus is on individual level and systemic factors associated with these differences, and on the ways such inequalities impact on well-being and the quality of life of older persons. Particularly, we investigate the robustness of the connection between cohort income inequality, health gradients and labor force characteristics of Brazilian elderly, with attention to the effects of race and changing family living arrangements as potential confounders. Using data from 1998 to 2008 Brazilian household sample surveys, the paper addresses the discussion of inequality and poverty among elderly in Brazil, in the context of the country's demographic changes, at the macro-level, to a rapidly ageing population, and at the micro-level, to an increase in unconventional living arrangements. The hypothesis is that those changes are crucial to the analysis of the trends of the relationship between the socioeconomi...

Despite the substantial decline, there has been an increase in union instability, which has been shown to increase the level of fertility in Brazil, and an increase of the relative contribution of teenage pregnancies to the overall level of fertility. We argue that Brazil represents a case of rapid fertility transition where the family planning program has had little influence and where, were it not for specific characteristics of teenagers and consensual unions, the TFR could reach even lower levels. We observe that in the absence of other methods, the fertility decline in Brazil is primarily due to the increased prevalence of female sterilisation. In this paper we desegregate the fertility indicators of different groups of women and the effect of these different measures on total fertility. We have found that the decline, powered by female sterilisation, would have been more rapid in the absence of...

MÉTODOS: Os dados são oriundos da pesquisa amostral SRSR - Saúde Reprodutiva, Sexualidade e Raça/Cor, conduzida pelo Cedeplar/UFMG em 2002 e única desta natureza com representatividade municipal. O método utilizado foi o Grade of Membership (GoM), a partir do qual foram gerados quatro perfis extremos para cada município. RESULTADOS: Tanto em Belo Horizonte quanto em Recife, as mulheres com maior probabilidade de serem brancas são também aquelas com maior probabilidade de ter escolaridade mais elevada, possuir plano de saúde, ter tido parceiro estável no ano anterior à pesquisa e ter poder na relação sexual. Quanto às negras, apenas em Belo Horizonte elas têm maior probabilidade de serem de baixa escolaridade, não possuírem plano de saúde, além de se sent...

Although there has been a consensus about the increase in consumption and the improvement of living conditions for a significant proportion of the population, there is less agreement about the decline in inequality and the change in class distribution. Previous work was directed at challenging the very idea that Brazil had become a middle-class country during the first decade of this century, basically weighting class distribution against income distribution. In this article, we aim to step into the income distribution debate using six income groups as proportions of the median household per-capita income. Our data source is the National Household Sample Survey (PNAD-IBGE/Br...

Procedemos não apenas ao cálculo da taxa de reiteração de atos infracionais, como também analisamos se ela está relacionada com os perfis sociodemográfico e infracional dos egressos do sistema socioeducativo. Para tanto, lançamos mão de metodologia estatística por meio de modelos de regressão logística binomial. Constatou-se que as variáveis que mais impactam a probabilidade de reiteração de atos infracionais são o tipo de vínculo familiar, a trajetória infracional precoce do adolescente, o consumo de drogas ilícitas em período anterior ao cumprimento da medida socioeducativa. Os efeitos das variáveis tipo de medida socioeducativa e tempo de cumprimento da medida socioed...
