Abstract

Among the various large industrial projects currently underway in the country, the Rio de Janeiro Petrochemical Complex (COMPERJ) stands out as the biggest investment in the history of Petrobras in progress in the country, with potential impacts on the local labor market that seem to be extremely relevant. The article is structured to achieve two goals. The first one, of more general nature, comprises the characterization of the socioeconomic context of the region impacted by the COMPERJ, in order to identify aspects that constitute stimuli and barriers to local development process, from the impacts of investments to the region. The second objective, which is more specific, includes an analysis of the determinants of em- ployment and poverty levels in the region impacted by COMPERJ, on the basis of a field research with households of the region. Data raised during the field research was analyzed using an econometric model.
