The reorganization of the Brazilian economy, in
the globalization process, has brought out
changes in its productive structure, and,
consequently, changes in the job market. These
changes had impact on the employment at the
sectoral and state level, with great concerns
related to the labor relations and to the growing
unemployment rates. In the 1990s, the change in
the focus of the development strategy, from a
closed protected economy to an open economy with
monetary control, has originated changes in the
income distribution as well in the labor market.
Taking into consideration both of these aspects,
the goal of this paper is to study how the
productive structure and the income distribution
in the Brazilian economy have had an impact over
employment generation in 2002. This paper uses
as a theoretical basis the Leontief-Miyazawa
approach considering the differences between
sectors and the 27 Brazilian states.
RESULTS
INTRODUCTION Based on data from the new System
of National Accounts the present work aimed at
the construction of Brazilian input-output tables
for 2002 to implement the Leontief-Miyazawa
Model. Thus, developed this system, it was
possible the application of Leontief-Miyazawa
Model emphasizing the differences in terms of
generating employment and the regional
differences for labor.

METHODOLOGY The Leontief-Miyazawa Model The
analysis of the intersectoral structure will be
carried through the application of the
Leontief-Miyazawa approach. The Leontief-Miyazawa
analysis brings information on the structure of
production of the economy and the sectoral origin
of the generated income and also the sectoral
distribution of income to households in different
income brackets, and the sectoral allocation of
consumption expenditures by households. The
interregional input-output table The
interregional input-output model, also called of
Isard Model, due to the application of Isard
(1951), requires a mix of data, actual or
estimated, mainly on information flows
intersectoral and interregional.
