Academic Elites and Economic Elites: professionals with a postgraduate degree in Brazil

Abstract:

This article analyses some characteristics of the postgraduate Brazilian population in the period of 2009-2015 presented by the statistical data of the Instituto Brasileiro de Geografía e Estatística - IBGE, Centro de Gestão e Estudos Estratégicos - CGEE, Relação Anual de Informações Sociais - RAIS and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development - OECD. The analysis of the data shows that the postgraduate professionals continue to be a minority in Brazil, belonging to academic elite and, in most cases, to economic elite.
