SUMMARY:

This research delves into the influences of racial identity and the historical legacy of slavery on income disparities within the labor market of the state of Alagoas over the period from 2000 to 2020. Employing a social economics approach, this study seeks to fathom how historical and sociocultural factors have shaped income distribution across distinct ethnic-racial groups in the region. Through the lens of economic and social data, the connections between racial attributes, the history of slavery, educational levels, and earned income were scrutinized. This topic remains relatively unexplored in Alagoas, which magnifies the significance of this study within the regional context. The research takes on a qualitative character and can be classified as descriptive and exploratory. It draws upon secondary data sourced from the Federal University of Alagoas, Demographic Censuses, and National Household Sample Surveys published by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics. The outcomes underscore the persistence of substantial income disparities among racial groups, underscoring that skin color continues to play a pertinent role in determining earnings within both the Alagoas and Brazilian labor markets. Moreover, it was observed that the historical legacy of slavery wields a substantial influence over income disparities, molding employment opportunities, access to education, and social mobility.The conclusions drawn from this study bear implications for public policies geared towards equity and inclusion, highlighting the importance of approaches that confront not only historical origins but also contemporary challenges. This is imperative not just at the outset of one's journey but also through policies that genuinely disrupt the vicious cycle, thereby cultivating a more equitable and just labor market.
