Sociodemographic profile of populations in territories of social exclusion and inclusion

Abstract

This study assesses the differences in the population's profile in territories exhibiting conditions of social exclusion and inclusion in the year 2010. This is a descriptive research based on quantitative data and statistical comparative methods. The study discusses the social exclusion of cities in the Brazilian Amazon, and the profile of the population inhabiting different levels of social exclusion and inclusion. The results attest that the population at the most extreme level of exclusion consisted of males (brown-skinned, in the 0 to 9 age group), whose household income did not exceed 3 minimum wages. At the highest level of social inclusion, the profile shifts to women, brown-skinned, in the 30 to 64 age group. Here, we conclude that in the city of Macapá, there is a significant female presence residing in territories with high levels of inclusion, while black and brown individuals in the child and adolescent population are in conditions of extreme exclusion.
