Abstract
2001-2006 income distribution decreasing in the Brazilian regions: tendency or transitory phenomena? - The aim of this paper is to contribute to the debate on the decrease of the concentration degree of the family?s income distribution in Brazil in the first five years of the XXI Century. On this purpose, we approach the phenomenon analyzing the importance of five types of income ( labor, property rents, donation, retirement and public cash transference) in the five macro regions in Brazil ? North, Northeast, Middle-West, Southeast, South, during the period 2001-2006.To reach the purposes, the text was structured in three parts. The first one highlights stylized facts on this decreasing from the Brazilian specialized literature. The second section presents the mathematical technique used to build the decomposition. Finally, in the third section we analyze the results obtained for the five macro regions. We detached, specially, the magnitude of the employment?s creation and, secondarily, the public cash transference to poor families as the main causes to explain the decline on the concentration degree of the income distribution.
