Impactos socioeconômicos da expansão do setor sucroenergético no Estado de São Paulo, entre 2005 e 2009

Sugarcane industry's socioeconomic impact in São Paulo, Brazil: A spatial dynamic panel approach

“…Scientific literature suggests that the expansion of Brazil's sugarcane industry has generated net benefits for the population, especially in the generation of employment and income, while acting to mitigate the effects greenhouse gas emissions Toneto-Jr et al, 2008;Hoffmann, 2006;Chagas et al, 2012;Satolo and Bacchi, 2013;Bacchi and Caldarelli, 2015). Since the sector's most evident impacts are felt at the local rather than national level, it is reasonable to expect added insights to come from municipality scale analyses, realizing that results of such analysis may not be consistent with national trends.…”

“…Their study did not consider the impact of sugarcane related industrial processing units (Chagas et al, 2012). Bacchi and Caldarelli (2015) undertook a panel data analysis to examine externalities arising from the expansion of the sugarcane industry in the state of São Paulo using the Municipality Development FIRJAN Index (IFDM). The authors present evidence that the sector's industrial expansion had a positive impact on employment and income, but there were no significant positive impacts on health or education (Bacchi and Caldarelli, 2015).…”

While their study showed that sugarcane processing activities increased employment opportunities, the employment benefits derived from sugarcane cultivation were found to be arguable.…”

Socio-economic impacts of Brazilian sugarcane industry

“…Brazilian ethanol production has grown from approximately 555 million liters in 1975 to 23.2 billion liters in 2013, leading to increased sugarcane production, from 88.9 million tonnes to 588.5 million tonnes in the same period. Growth in these sectors is said to have had a positive impact on jobs, including the creation of agricultural jobs (see Moraes 2011a) A number of studies have demonstrated the positive socio-economic impacts of sugarcane ethanol industry in Brazil (Assato and Moraes, 2011;Chagas et al, 2011;Satolo and Bacchi, 2013;Neves et al, 2013, Bacchi andCaldarelli, 2015). The studies have emphasised different socioeconomic aspects such as job creation, the improvement of the human development index (including education) and income, and the improvement in working conditions and corporate social responsibility in the factories.…”

“…Moreover, as the extraction and production of oil byproducts are limited to a few coastal cities, the sugarcane industry can contribute greatly to regional development (see Other authors have also noted improvements in indicators, such as employment (quality and quantity), as well as the wages sectors (Balsadi and Borin, 2006;Moraes, 2007;Oliveira, 2009;Moraes, 2011a;Moraes, 2011b;Gerber Machado and Walter, 2011;Neves et al, 2013). Bacchi and Caldarelli (2015), for instance, analyzed the impacts on employment/income, education and health, using a panel data for all state municipalities from 2005 to 2009. Significant and positive interaction between the sugarcane supply chain production and employment/income (positive elasticity) was reported.…”
