THE EXTERMINATION OF HUMAN CAPITAL IN BRAZILIAN STATES

Abstract

The objective of this paper is to analyze the locational profile of deaths of young people between 15 and 29 years old in Brazilian states resulting from homicides, feminicides, traffic accidents and suicides, in the years 2010 and 2021. The methodological procedure consisted of discussing the data through relative values and the estimation of regional analysis indicators. The results demonstrated that deaths resulting from traffic accidents decreased, but other types of deaths became more significant and localized. Deaths resulting from suicides had significant increases and homicides represent the most significant deaths, followed by femicides. These results provided a framework of information about the need for more incisive public policy operations and actions in some states of the federation. Actions to prevent and preserve life require special attention from civil society organizations and special attention from public health authorities.
