Background To design better measures to contain the Covid-19 epidemics, it is relevant to know whether socioeconomic factors are associated with a higher risk of death by Covid-19. This work estimates the effects of individual socioeconomic characteristics on the risk of death by Covid-19. Methods Logistic models were estimated to assess the effect of socioeconomic characteristics (income, race/ethnicity, schooling, occupation and economic activity) on the risk of death from Covid-19. For this purpose, Covid-19 individual death records in Rio de Janeiro state, Brazil were combined with the Annual Register of Social Information, which contains socioeconomic information about formal workers. Findings Workers employed in establishments in the health and public safety sectors present a risk of dying 2.46 and 2.25 times higher than those employed in other activities. Non-white people, men, and those who work in the Metropolitan Region are also more likely to die from Covid-19. People with higher education are 44% less likely to die from the disease. Conclusions Some population groups are more vulnerable to the Covid-19 pandemic and individual socioeconomic conditions play a relevant role in the probability of death by the disease. That should be considered in the design of prevention policies to be adopted.

Neste trabalho, descrevem-se as mudanças no acesso à educação superior e no perfil do seu alunado, bem como a evolução do impacto redistributivo do investimento em educação superior pública, durante o período 2001-2015, com dados da Pesquisa Nacional por Amostra de Domicílios do Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (PNAD/ IBGE) e do Instituto Nacional de Estudos e Pesquisas Educacionais Anísio Teixeira do Ministério da Educação (Inep/MEC). A expansão da educação superior caminhou rumo a uma maior democratização do acesso especialmente nas universidades públicas e no período 2005-2015. Como resultado, uma proporção maior do investimento do governo em educação superior pública passou a alcançar os estratos mais pobres da sociedade e, além disso, esse nível de educação vem deixando de contribuir para a concentração da renda.
