Job flows, workers flows and employment flows in Brazil. The labor market is in constant flux. When measuring labor market mobility, it is usual to estimate labor market flow statistics, such as worker reallocation and job reallocation. The goal of this paper is to present previously unknown within plant job reallocation statistics for Brazil. The within plant job reallocation is measured as changes in the occupational mix of the plant. The within plant job reallocation allows a decomposition of worker turnover decomposition into matching, technological change and labor demand factors. Using formal labor market data for Brazil, from 1996 to 2001, the results suggest that technological change accounted for a limited share of worker turnover. More than a quarter of worker turnover can be attributed to labor demand shifts and more than 50% of worker turnover is due to matching. (Rev Econ Polit/GIGA)

Este artigo parte da sociologia da educação para documentar e teorizar dimensões sociais, culturais e políticas da educação de jovens adultos da elite econômica em uma escola privada, que foi criada em reação à educação em massa e como forma de garantir às elites a distinção anteriormente fornecida pelo acesso em exclusivo à educação pública. O artigo traz à colação contextos e consequências associadas à ascensão da privatização, com base em uma incursão etnográfica durante mais de dez anos em uma escola privada no Norte de Portugal, complementada por grupos focais com jovens adultos no ensino secundário. Destacam-se as formas como esse grupo de elite econômica constrói os seus laços sociais e significados no interior da escola. Admite-se que a educação privada molda e reforça o status das elites econômicas. Entretanto, tensões entre desigualdade e privilégio podem surgir no decurso desse processo. Argumentamos que se há uma ação individual na interpretação e construção da realidade social, essa escola tem um impacto especial nos estudantes, como membros da elite global. Por meio desse contexto educacional, que muitas vezes reforça as expectativas de status e de mobilidade ascendente das famílias, através da educação, esses alunos são seduzidos pelo (poder do) consumo e a maioria deles quer participar do mercado de trabalho e na concorrência nacional e internacional. ; This paper departs from sociology of education to document and theorize the social, cultural and political dimensions of the education of young adults from the economic elite in a private school that was created, in reaction to mass schooling and as a way to ensure elites the distinction formerly provided by public education. The paper brings to the fore the contexts and consequences associated with the rise of privatization. On the basis of an ethnographic incursion for more than ten years in that private school in Northern Portugal complemented by focus group discussion with young adults in upper secondary education, the paper highlights the ways in which this group of the economic elites builds their social ties and constructs meanings within the school. Private schooling shapes and reinforces the status of the economic elites. However, tensions between inequality and privilege may arise within this process. We argue that if there is an individual action in the interpretation and construction of social reality, this school, has particular impact on the students as members of the global elite. By means of this educational context, which many times reinforces the expectations of status and upper mobility of the families, through education, these students are seduced by (the power of) consumption and most of them are willing to take part in the national and international labor markets and competition.
