- Social Inequality from the perspective of the Racial Balance Index(2021) SERGIO PINHEIRO FIRPO; França, Michael; Portella, AlyssonBrazil still has a long way to go in facing its deep social problems. In order to offer a new perspective on Brazilian inequality, this paper proposes to use the Racial Balance Index to reveal where the greatest and worst advances in the direction of racial equity lie. With this index it is possible to identify and monitor racial inequality in socioeconomic variables over time considering the local racial distribution. Thus, this work analyzes racial imbalances, by state and region, present in high schooling, in the elderly population and in groups with higher incomes. As a result, there has been a significant improvement in the educational situation in recent years. The racial imbalance in the population with higher education has decreased considerably. However, this has not yet been reflected in an improvement in racial inequality in earnings and longevity.
- Desigualdades raciais no mercado de trabalho brasileiro e o papel da educacão(2021) SERGIO PINHEIRO FIRPO; França, Michael; Portella, AlyssonDo differences in wages between white and black workers arise because of discrimination or because of differences in productivity? This report tries to answer this questions by analyzing recent patterns in racial inequality in the Brazilian labor market and education. In addition to that, we also discuss some of the most important works on racial inequality. We show that racial differences in earnings are large and persistent, even when we consider workers with higher education or in the same occupational group. Using data from Brazil, we show that a considerable part of racial gaps in wages are due to differences in education related to years of schooling, quality of education, and majors attended in college. We also present data on recent trends in educational inequality. Access to higher education has improved fast in Brazil in the last decades, especially among black youth. However, there are still large differences in access between black and white children. Black students in higher education attend less prestigious courses than their white counterparts. Moreover, the performance of black teens in exams by the end of high school is worse than that of white students, and recent trends suggest that these differences in performance are widening.
- Desigualdade Social sob a ótica do Índice de Equilíbrio Racial(2021) SERGIO PINHEIRO FIRPO; França, Michael; Portella, AlyssonO Brasil ainda tem um longo caminho no enfrentamento de seus profundos problemas sociais. Com o intuito de oferecer uma nova perspectiva em relação a desigualdade brasileira, o presente trabalho propõe usar o Índice de Equilíbrio Racial para revelar onde estão os maiores e piores avanços na direção da equidade racial. Com este índice e possível identificar e monitorar a iniquidade racial nas variáveis socioeconômicas ao longo do tempo considerando a distribuição racial local. Deste modo, neste trabalho analisam-se os desequilíbrios raciais, por estado e região, presentes na alta escolaridade, na população idosa e nos grupos com maiores rendimentos. Como resultado, encontrou-se uma expressiva melhora na situação educacional nos últimos anos. O desequilíbrio racial na população com ensino superior diminuiu consideravelmente. Entretanto, isto ainda não se refletiu em uma melhora na desigualdade racial nos rendimentos e longevidade.
