Emancipações distritais e o grau de desenvolvimento humano municipal em Minas Gerais

Abstract

After the approval of the Federal Constitution of 1988, a federal emancipationist race was verified in Brazil in almost all the federative units. In Minas Gerais, more than 100 municipalities were created. The Municipal Human Development Index (IDH-M) for the years 2000 and 2010, distributed according to geographic mesoregion, was used to measure the degree of success of the emancipations in Minas Gerais. In the reporting period, the results showed that the development indicators of the newly created municipalities were not significantly distinct from the mother cities. Although in some of these new municipalities they experienced a drop in level of development, in some cases there was an improvement in the IDH-M.
