Migrações, pendularidades e mercado de trabalho no segmento upstream da indústria do petróleo na bacia de campos

Abstract

This article presents an analysis of the productive restructuring that took place in the Campos Basin from the mid-1970s onwards, and its effects on the labor market, which shifted from a predominantly sugar-alcohol agroindustry to activities that focused on the exploration and production of oil and offshore gas. The productive restructuring in the Northern Fluminense region and the theoretical relations between pendularity, migration and the labor market were analyzed through a bibliographical review. Additionally, the importance of these variables in the context of the Campos Basin was identified through census data. Results show that the existing labor force, besides not having been absorbed by the new industry, did not constitute an industrial army reserve for the same and related activities.
