Abstract

Este artigo apresenta os principais resultados obtidos nas pesquisas sobre segurançasocioeconômica levadas a campo em 2001 na Argentina, Brasil e Chile. Uma análisecomparativa entre os três países procura explicitar similaridades e contrastes de acordocom as noções de segurança subjacentes. Um traço comum entre eles é a existência deuma dicotomia clara no que se refere à noção de segurança associada ao mercado detrabalho e aos postos de trabalho em si: as pessoas que se encontravam desempregadasou inativas no momento da pesquisa mostravam maior propensão à rotatividade edesalento; as que se encontravam ocupadas experimentavam, em geral, menortendência à troca de emprego e menor duração dos períodos de desemprego. Poroutro lado, algumas diferenças também são apontadas em respeito às noções desegurança associadas ao mercado de trabalho, com destaque para a Argentina, ondehá um maior pessimismo, tanto em relação a questões objetivas quanto, de formamais acentuada, no que tange às percepções dos agentes. The paper presents the main results produced by the People?s Security Surveysapplied in Argentina, Brazil and Chile in 2001. A comparative analysis acrosscountries is developed, trying to point out the similarities and contrasts amongbehavioral patterns according to the notions of socio-economic security. A commontrace for the three countries is a clear partition on the labor market and employmentnotions of security: those that were either unemployed or inactive at the moment thesurveys were conducted had a propensity for higher turnover and discouragement;those that held a job tended to experience lower job rotation and shorter spells ofunemployment. On the other hand, the comparison also reveals some differencesregarding labor market sense of insecurity. There is a tendency for more criticism inArgentina, both in objective grounds and, in a stronger fashion, for the aspectsrelated to the individuals´ perception. Brazilians stand in the other extreme, whereasChileans are somewhere in the middle.
