Brazilian inequalities in the 2000´s: a multidimensional approach

The goal of this article is to approach the inequality phenomenum by stating the necessity of a multidimensional analysis, presenting the main transformations captured by the Demographic Censuses of 2000 and 2010 in Brazil, and showing some advances and limits of the process of decay in inequality. The data show that between 2000 and 2010, there was a reduction of current income inequality in Brazilian society. From the multidimensional point of view, some improvement in socioeconomic indicators could also be observed to beyond the economic dimension (monetary income), but this has not actually represented a deeper transformation of the set of dimensions that differentiates the strata of Brazilian society
