Evolução do salário mínimo com as suas implicações sobre a formação do PIB e na pobreza no Brasil entre 1993 e 2013

Abstract

The focus of this study is to assess the implications of changes in the minimum wage on the Gross Domestic Product of Brazil and regions, as well as assess whether there are implications of raising the minimum wage on the Social Exclusion Index. Seeks to recognize the values of the minimum wage, the Gross Domestic Product of Brazil and regions, the GDP per capita in Brazil and regions and the percentage of the excluded population of Brazil and the five regions. Data were collected through the Sample National Survey by Household (PNAD) in the period between 1993 and 2013, the Census for the period 2000 and 2010, both surveys conducted by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE). The results confirmed that a minimum wage has implication on the Gross Domestic Product, but has no implication on the Social Exclusion Index. The higher number of excluded are in the Northeast and survive deprived of education, income, running water, sanitation and garbage collection. The lowest levels of social exclusion are presented in the Southeast. Thus, it is concluded that only the increase in the minimum wage does not imply the reduction of social exclusion and the creation of public policies is necessary to prioritize access to essential services to the population, providing improvement in the standard of quality of life of the Brazilian population.
