Resumen

This paper analyzes the effects on the labor market coming from the change of consumption pattern in Brazil observed during the last decade. More specifically, the paper has two objectives: a) identifying the structural changes of the final demand; and b) measuring the effects of the final-demand structural changes on the number of jobs by economic sectors, occupation, and qualification. To reach those objectives, a multisectoral model was used in this article. The main result shows the finaldemand structural changes boost the demand for unskilled workers.
