ABSTRACT
Mining activity in
Brazil has significantly contributed to the country development. However, this
contribution is not always fully noticed by society. This study aims to bring
more evidence to this mining activity contribution, based on highly regarded
development indicators, such as the HDI (Human Development Index), created by
the UNDP (United Nations Development Programme). The HDI was traditionally
designed as an instrument to evaluate the degree of countries development and
was subsequently deployed to states and municipalities (IDHM (Municipal Human Development Index) for Brazilian municipalities). In addition to
IDHM released by the UNDP, FIRJAN (Federation of the Industries of the State of
Rio de Janeiro) developed its own IFDM (FIRJAN Municipal Development Index).
The statistical analysis shows that the average of the municipalities with
mining activities has superior development indices than those with
non-mining activities, especially in the two major mining states: Minas Gerais
and Pará.
