Desenvolvimento regional e humano: uma revisão bibliográfica sobre os aspectos e seus indicadores comparativos do estado de Mato Grosso do Sul

Abstract

Regional development in Mato Grosso do Sul faces significant challenges due to socioeconomic inequalities and the state’s territorial diversity. This study seeks to understand the context of human and regional development in Mato Grosso do Sul by analyzing socioeconomic indicators, evaluating the impact of public policies, and proposing sustainable and inclusive development strategies. The main objective is to assess how policies and indicators influence regional development, taking into account local specificities and persistent gaps. The research uses a bibliographic review method, gathering and analyzing prior theories and studies on regional development, focusing on theories of cumulative causation and endogenous growth, as well as the application of indicators such as the FIRJAN Municipal Development Index (IFDM) and the Human Development Index (HDI). The results indicate that while public policies in Mato Grosso do Sul show some progress, they still fail to equitably address the needs of less developed municipalities, highlighting the need for resource decentralization and adaptation. The analysis also emphasizes strategies integrating professional training, local entrepreneurship, and sustainability as ways to reduce inequalities and promote inclusive development. In conclusion, achieving balanced regional development in Mato Grosso do Sul requires policies tailored to local needs, prioritizing social inclusion and environmental preservation. Implementing these strategies could contribute to a more equitable and sustainable future for the state.
