RESUMO

The thesis deals with demographic discontinuities in Brazil, their consequences on the configuration of the so-called young waves, and the issue of increasing violence amongst young people, especially in the large metropolitan centers. Observation of the census data as from the Forties enabled the presence of demographic discontinuities to be detected by cohort analysis, the young waves, generated by them to be defined and measured and a methodology to be developed to study the discontinuities and waves in the various social groups. The impact of the waves of young people on the composition of the labor market over the last three decades is evaluated and reflections on their consequences on the socio-political scenario are made, indicating the concordances and mismatches between the demographic phenomena and the economic and social context of each period. The indicators of violence amongst young people are analyzed, considering the number of years of life lost due to violent causes as a proxy for them. The calculations are done for Brazil, the regions and the metropolitan areas of Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo, in the Eighties, and updated for the Nineties, for the last two areas, verifying their changes in absolute and relative terms. An analysis of the evolution of the composition of the mortality of young people due to external causes is also included, especially the participation in the homicides and the use of firearms. The work shows the strong potential of Demography as an applied social science and its specialty in measuring and analyzing phenomena that are relevant to the planning, monitoring and evaluation of actions aimed at improving living conditions and diminishing the inequalities of Brazilian society
