Padrões regionais de emprego e renda na agricultura irrigada no Brasil
Keywords:
Irrigated agriculture, Employment, IncomeAbstract
The purpose of this study is to assess quantitatively the income and employment effects created by irrigation in Brazil. Special attention is given to the measurement of thei indirect effects generated through intersectoral dependency. Those impacts were estimated within an inputoutput framework and added to the direct effects in order to determinate total employment and income impacts. We distinguish between crops produced in the Northeast region from those produced in the! Brazilian Center-South to detectthe regional dimension of the effects analysed. We concluded that a) for every crop considered indirect effects are very strong; b) the indirect effects were higher in crops characterized by a higher labor productivity reflected by low direct employment coefficients; c) the indicator of direct employment is a poor indicator of the total employment principally in the Center-South region; e d) we could notfind an established relationship between income growth and employment creation.
