Transformações socioeconômicas no município de Sant’ana do Livramento - RS: análise da empregabilidade - 1985-2022

Abstract

Socioeconomic transformations are directly linked to employment in the economy, making the joint analysis of these factors essential to understand their impact. This research aims to examine socioeconomic changes based on employment indices in Sant’Ana do Livramento–RS, between 1985 and 2022. The methodology involves a qualitative and quantitative approach, using literature review, content analysis, and secondary data from statistical reports and annuals from IBGE, MTE, FEE, and RAIS, as well as SIDRA. The results show a significant decline in employment, particularly in the industrial sector, which was crucial until the 1990s. Despite expectations of recovery starting in the 2000s, the municipality faced demographic evasion and economic changes, with an emphasis on the expansion of commerce, services, and public administration. The local population has been limited to low-paying jobs, predominantly in unskilled services and commerce, which are the main employers. In contrast, agriculture offers one of the lowest salaries, while public administration and construction provide the best remunerations
