Crescimento da região de colonização histórica de Mato Grosso a partir das mudanças institucionais dos anos 1960

Abstract

The historical colonization region of Mato Grosso, which is in the west of the state, on the banks of the BR-070, is composed of cities with poor economic development. The analysis of age groups in these cities allows to find a scenario of growth of elderly population in detriment of people in working age. Therefore, it is possible to find a correlation between the absence of economic growth and the lack of institutional changes. The permanence of reminiscent institutions from the golden decay, with an undefined land market; absence of the state and lack of funding, brings a different step to the growth of this region compared to the one where these changes were installed, the North region, on the banks of the BR-163.
