This is the fourth in a series of four notes reporting the results of the study entitled The Dynamic Nature of Employment and Income in the Legal Amazon developed under the Amazônia 2030 project (AMZ 2030). The study deepens the discussion on the economic vitality of the Legal Amazon, based on the identification of occupations and sectors that have contributed the most to employment and income generation in the region in the recent period (2012-2019). The paper uses data from the Continuous National Household Sample Survey Pesquisa Nacional por Amostra de Domicílios Contínua – PNAD Contínua) conducted by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística – IBGE) and continues the research on the dynamics of the Labor Market in the Legal Amazon, the first in the series of AMZ 2030 publications. This note presents the results of the study of both high skilled occupations and occupations in which professionals play a leadership role.
The main results of the analysis of the evolution of occupations that require higher skills and a leadership role in the region show: (i) a significant reduction in employment in these occupations, especially for scientists and engineers, and company directors and managers; and (ii) that this decrease in employment has been particularly pronounced for young workers (aged 18 to 29). These results illustrate the low capacity of the Legal Amazon to attract and retain talent.
Vocational Education in the Legal Amazon is suboptimal. Faced with a particularly challenging job market for young people, the low representativity of technical raining in the region’s workforce has made it even more difficult for workers to enter the workforce. This study, produced by researchers from the Amazon 2030 project (AMZ 2030), reveals
Whilst Brazil has largely overcome the challenge of poor provision of elementary education – with numbers close to the total number of children enrolled in primary education and increasing enrollment rates in early childhood education and secondary education -, the Legal Amazon still faces difficulties in access to education, particularly in early childhood
