Socioeconomic Development of the Immediate Region of Guarapuava from 2015 to 2020

Abstract

The delimitation of regions allows studies to be carried out, enabling a better characterization of the municipalities that comprise it, helping to identify inequalities and potentialities, facilitating the development of public policies to improve the economic and social situation of the region. Thus, the present study aimed to analyze the socioeconomic performance of the municipalities in the Immediate Region of Guarapuava (RIG) in Paraná, based on the indicators of the IPARDES Index of Municipal Development (IPDM) in the period from 2015 to 2020. To characterize the productive structure and the socioeconomic profile of the municipalities of the RIG in this period. An exploratory and descriptive research with a qualitative approach was carried out, supported by bibliographical research for literature review and secondary data from IPARDES, IBGE and RAIS for data collection, tabulation, and analysis, using descriptive statistics in the presentation of these. The results showed that the region is composed of small municipalities and most of them have agriculture as the most representative activity in the GDP. During the study period, the municipalities showed advances in development in health and education, but not in terms of employment and income and, therefore, this was the index that weighed most negatively on the dynamism of the development of municipalities in the region, which imposes the observation that the region has low performance in terms of employment and income and needs public policies aimed at meeting this purpose.
