Who benefits from industrial decentralization? Social power in the labour market, income distribution and spatial policy in Brazil
Storper M. (1984) Who benefits from industrial decentralization? Social power in the labour market, income distribution and spatial policy in Brazil, Reg. Studies 18, 143–164. Brazil has one of the world's most spatially concentrated industrial economies. The level of concentration can be partly explained by the characteristics of its labour market. The process of bargaining between workers and employers that underlies wage determination and labour supply formation in Greater São Paulo has, until recently been tilted in favour of employers, allowing them an unusual level of power. This condition affects all segments of the urban labour market, whether modern or informal, stable or unstable. Employers are thus able to continue to concentrate industry in São Paulo without fear of augmenting workers' power. Advocates of national spatial policies based on decentralization have not accounted for the socio-economic causes and consequences of industry decentralization on the welfare of workers; premature decentralization could alleviate problems of physical crowding, but, by perpetuating low wages and income distribution, contribute to Brazil's failure to develop an internal market sufficient to sustain high levels of growth.
