THE KNOWLEDGE-INTENSIVE SERVICES SECTOR AS A POTENTIAL PROPELLER OF BRAZILIAN ECONOMIC GROWTH
The present work aims to investigate the knowledge-intensive business services sector (KIBS) as a growth driver in the context of the Brazilian economy. In this way, the approach of economist Nicholas Kaldor is exposed, through Kaldor's laws, which considers the industry as a driver of economic growth rates and productivity, however, with the development of new sectors and the process of deindustrialization, growth economic growth through industry as a motor has been more arduous since the 1990s. As an objective, it seeks to contextualize the KIBS sector as an alternative to growth and the sector's relationship with manufacturing, productivity and innovation, in addition to exposing the scenario of KIBS in the Brazilian economy from the 1990s onwards, the preliminary result is that the sector has a higher level of education among formal workers than workers in other sectors, with higher nominal wages. Furthermore, it is a sector that permeates the inputs for the production of other economic sectors.
