Análise da situação socioeconômica das populações indígenas em Alagoas

Abstract

The objective of this Paper is to present a set of socioeconomic data of indigenous populations in the State of Alagoas. The intention is to present a general context of the social and economic situation of these populations using data obtained and disseminated by government agencies, non-governmental organizations and researchers. In the presentation and analysis of these data it is evident that these populations have several indicators that confirm the social and economic inequality when compared to the non-indigenous population in the State and in Brazil. In this aspect, the contribution of this Paper is to present a general analysis and give visibility to the social situation of these populations, drawing attention to the need to implement specific and differentiated public policy that contribute to the improvement of their living conditions.
