Heterogeneidade no setor informalum estudo de microunidades produtivas em Aracajú e Teresina

Resumo

This work analyses the informal sector from the perspective of the production microunits. Based of information drawn from field research carried out In two middle-sized towns in Northeastern Brazil, it presents the characteristics of those forms of production organization, inter- and intrasectors, for five economic sectores: Industry, commerce, services, transport and construction. The research reveals a marked heterogeneity inter- and Intra sectores regarding, among other aspects, the average number of workers employed, the working week, the average monthly revenues and the pricing policy. Additfonally, the results point to the importance of the informal sector as a survival strategy during economic crises, and underlines the factthatthe average size of the Informal microunits is proportional to the size of the urban economy.
