A concentração espacial do emprego formal e da massa salarial no Rio Grande do Sul: metodologia e tipologia

This paper suggests two complementary methodologies for spatial analysis Locational Gini and spatial statistical techniques (standard distance and standard deviational ellipse) of a concentration of productive activities. We use the formal labor and the salary mass data of manufacturing industry from Rio Grande do Sul, in the period 1985-2006. Starting from the identification of four types of territorial behavior (spatially concentrated concentration, spatially dispersed dispersion, spatially dispersed concentration, and spatially concentrated dispersion) we analyzed the distribution of manufacturing industry data. The results showed that aggregated industry and most of its classes presented a spatially dispersed dispersion process: the labor and the salary mass were dispersed in studied region and pulverized in the territory
