“…This may be due to the fact that–given the difficulties of mobility in a predominantly fluvial environment–having low urbanization close to a large center such as Manaus or even Belém, generates a different impact than having low urbanization in isolated regions, such as Alto Solimões or Tefé. This argument is consistent with the analysis by Silva and Bacha (2014) for the region, in the light of the New Economic Geography (NGE) and may be reinforced further with the analysis of multidimensional poverty clusters.…”

PurposeThis article aims to analyse the spatial and temporal evolution of multidimensional poverty in Brazil's North Region and its relationship with territorial, economic and population dynamics.Design/methodology/approachA multidimensional poverty index (MPI) was calculated using the Alkire-Foster method and a spatial econometric model was estimated. The data come from population censuses conducted by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) for the years 1991, 2000 and 2010.FindingsThe results show a decrease in multidimensional poverty over the period analysed. However, they show this reduction occurred in a heterogeneous way in time and space, with emphasis on microregions in which, despite a reduction in the rate, the percentage of the population considered multidimensionally poor remained high during the 30 years of the study.Research limitations/implicationsThe quality of available data.Practical implicationsIt is possible to point out that public policies focused on improving infrastructure in medium-sized locations tend to have two positive effects: first, making production and consumption more accessible and sustainable for local communities, given that currently the cost of transport and logistics are factors that hinder socioeconomic development; second, to reduce the pressure of demand that this population of small and medium-sized locations exerts on public services currently offered only in larger locations. Although the logic of concentrating most public services in the largest cities makes sense in terms of economic efficiency, the particularities of the northern region and the recognition of its environmental importance point to the need for incentives for more spatially distributed economic activity.Social implicationsFrom the paper results, it is possible to think about more local public policies which are able to improve people's lifes without to damage the environment.Originality/valueThis is the first study on multidimensional poverty that covers the entire North region of Brazil (Amazon region) and that contemplates both the temporal and spatial dynamics of poverty.Peer reviewThe peer review history for this article is available at: https://publons.com/publon/10.1108/IJSE-11-2021-0699.

“…As outras doenças mais citadas são cirurgias, alergias e malária (doença endêmica da região). isolamento geográfico e as limitações de meios de transporte (SILVA, 2014). Além disso, considerando os indivíduos intoxicados, foi encontrado que 32,26% dos participantes estavam contaminados com Maláriamorbidade endêmica na população estudada nesta pesquisa, devido a fatores ambientais, socioculturais, econômicos, políticos e de serviços de saúde (WOLFARTH-COUTO, 2020).…”

RESUMOOs agrotóxicos, também conhecidos como pesticidas ou defensivos agrícolas, são agentes químicos utilizados para maximizar o processo de produção agrícola. A busca desenfreada pela melhor qualidade dos produtos agrícolas produzidos tem aumentado, cada vez mais, o uso destes agentes químicos que, quando usados sem controle adequado, afetam diretamente a saúde humana e o ambiente. Nesse sentido, conhecer os pesticidas comercializados e as alterações causadas por eles na saúde da população e no meio ambiente é um importante passo para a elaboração de políticas públicas de controle e restrição. Diante deste contexto, o presente estudo epidemiológico, observacional e descritivo avalia a presença de intoxicação por agrotóxicos de trabalhadores rurais do Município de Ji-Paraná-RO. A pesquisa foi realizada com 208 produtores rurais, que foram submetidos à avaliações clínico-laboratoriais, questionários semiestruturados com variáveis qualitativas e quantitativas quanto ao perfil sócio econômico, histórico da doença pregressa e atual, agrotóxicos mais utilizados, uso de EPIs, dentre outros. Foi verificado que cerca de 50% desses produtores usam agrotóxicos do grupo herbicida e da classe extremamente tóxica e que a maior parte deles realiza a aplicação de agrotóxicos, sem uso adequado de equipamentos de proteção. Os testes laboratoriais realizados comprovaram que 12,5% destes trabalhadores apresentaram intoxicação e 9,3% apresentaram sinais de intoxicação. Os resultados obtidos neste estudo alertam para a importância de uma rigorosa ação de conscientização, monitoramento e fiscalização do uso de pesticidas e evidenciam a necessidade de treinamento de manuseio dos produtos químicos de forma adequada.

“…de Lima et al (2019), for example, show another approach that can influence income inequality in the North of Brazil, where 19.3% of the total population was migrants in 2010, of which about 45% were from the Northeast: the hypothesis it was that migrants tend, on average, to be more economically apt than non-migrants with similar socio-economic characteristics, and therefore tend to earn higher wages; this hypothesis has not been fully validated. On the other hand, Silva and Bacha (2014) explain that, although migrants are looking for higher wages, in urban areas the cost of living is higher, and this increases population density and the price of housing, food, etc., decreasing this advantage over time. One should also not forget about international migratory flows, such as what happened with the crisis in Venezuela, which tend to aggravate social problems in the border region.…”

The main objective of this study is to evaluate the behavior of income distribution in the Amazonian States of Brazil from 2004 to 2015. As complementary objectives, we sought to determine the immediate causes of any differences of Household Income Per Capita (HIPC) distribution in the Legal Amazon, based on the static decomposition of the Gini Index, and to analyze the dynamic decomposition of the Gini Index considering HIPC portions. This methodology used microdata from the National Household Sample Survey (PNAD) for the analyzed period. As a result, the Gini index of the Legal Amazon HIPC performed differently from that of Brazil (without Legal Amazon). The HIPC portion formed by the income of military and civil servants from the Legal Amazon stood out for having the highest degree of negative progressivity when compared to the rest of the country, whereas “government transfers” had the highest degree of positive progressivity, being responsible for 36.7 of the Gini Index variation from 2004 to 2015.
