O "polo Goiana": desenvolvimento e mercado de trabalho na Zona da Mata Norte de Pernambuco

Abstract

The aim of this study is to investigate the implications of recent industrial investments on the labor market in the Zona da Mata Norte and Metropolitan Region of Recife, in the State of Pernambuco. Our hypothesis suggests that the territory's recent industrialization broke with its long agro-industrial past, changing the dynamics of the territory's labor market. For this, first, a bibliographical survey was carried out on the socioeconomic historicity of the territory in the face of new changes. Then, with regard to the territory's labor market, data from databases of the Ministry of Economy: RAIS and CAGED are systematized and analyzed, in order to describe changes in the territory, allowing for new hypotheses to be raised about it. Initially, we could see that, between the first and second decade of the 21st century, there is a relative predominance of the industrial sector in the volume of links in municipalities, as well as a decline in the volume of links in the agricultural sector. Then, we identified the main industrial sectors of each municipality in relation to the total number of links in the industry, in order to observe mainly the vigor given by the automobile industry of Goiana/PE regarding the consolidation of Food and Beverage and Chemical Industry ventures in other municipalities. Finally, we analyzed the movement of employment contracts in the main industrial sectors, in order to observe a particular dynamic for each municipality, and seeking to specify some impacts of the 2017 Labor Reform on contractual movements in the territory. We found that so far there does not seem to be a significant impact on the dynamics, while, with regard to the hiring and dismissal modalities introduced, the impact is almost nil for the manufacturing industry in general.
