Relationship between mineral extraction, oil extraction, and agribusiness with employability, municipal gross domestic product, and voting data in Brazil

This dataset looks at the number of Brazilian municipalities where mining
is a key economic activity and those where mining is a key job provider.
We also listed municipalities that have mining as both a main economic
activity and the main employer in a given town. We have also generated
maps to visualize the impact of mining in Brazil as a key economic
activity and/or job provider. Similarly, we have listed the same
information for all the municipalities that received oil royalties in
2019, and the top 100 municipalities whose wealth was mainly generated by
agribusiness in 2022. By detailing the economic and employment situation
in Brazilian extractive municipalities (mining, oil, and crops), we
demonstrate that company towns in Brazil (locations that are highly
dependent on one key economic activity for employment generation) are few.
Extractive industries may no longer be labour intensive, although economic
dependency may follow indirectly, such as because of tax generation. We
also offer data on national elections to demonstrate that there is not a
clear correlation between economic activity and voting patterns, which may
be explained by low employability. The main objective of this dataset is
to generate a discussion on the need to redefine company towns in Brazil.
