Abstract

The purpose of this chapter is to analyze the relationship between the structure of household units, their labor organization and income, and the inequality in income in different areas of the social space of the Metropolitan Region of Rio de Janeiro, from 2000 to 2010. In this context, it seeks to understand how the economic changes that occurred in Brazil over that decade, associated with demographic changes that have been taking place since the 1970s, affected the forms of organization of household units, the composition of living arrangements in different areas of the metropolis, the entry of its members in the labor market and their income. To what extent have these changes altered the patterns of inequality among household units in different areas of that metropolis? The work is based on information from the 2000 and 2010 Demographic Censuses.

Notes

  1. 1.

    In this study, household unit refers to all persons residing in the same household and family refers to people united by ties of kinship and consanguinity residing in the same household, following the methodology of the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística—IBGE) in the 2010 Census. Neither household units nor families include people in the condition of boarders, domestic workers, and relatives of domestic workers, who, despite sharing the same household, do not live on the same household budget.
