Abstract

The paper aims to analyse the impacts on social upgrading in the two main fruit-produc-ing areas of the Brazilian Northeast – Açú-Mossoró and Petrolina-Juazeiro. The concept of decent work deficit was elected as a guideline for the theoretical background, as many authors have applied it to address social upgrading in a more objective way. The paper has adopted the time series econometric analysis to identify possible structural breaks in the formal workers’ demand per hectare for the two regions. The main results indicate some structural breaks in the formal labour market in both regions. This corroborates with the literature that some institutional changes impact working conditions. However, the intensity and direction of these impacts differed in each researched area. With the results is possible to affirm that a decrease in the decent work deficit resulted from the enforcement of the labour laws since the emergence of a new institutional environment.
