| Abstract | |
With regard to labor market, urbanization plays a fundamental role in the capitalist system, providing concentration of labor power, in quantity and quality, which is required by accumulation dynamic and the advances in social division of labor. From this point of view, the constitution of the metropolitan spaces, understood as an amplified urban scale of the process of productive diversification and social differentiation, contributes to structuring a general labor market. The main purpose of this study is to investigate the transformations in the productive and occupational structures of the São Paulo State metropolitan regions, São Paulo, Campinas and Baixada Santista, which is the most advanced Brazilian urban space. Using the political economy of development approach this thesis assumes that there are different social and economic patterns and specific forms of urban labor market organization. Furthermore, this study criticizes the regional and urban predominant literature that establishes links between metropolitan space and labor market considering a mere balance of competitive advantages and disadvantages. From the point of view of public policies, the influence of these studies has devastating effects, and, in theoretical terms, they bring little contribution to understand the urbanization problems in underdeveloped countries, even in the most advanced Brazilian urban space.
