The present study aims to identify the determinants of food insecurity in Brazil, urban and rural areas, based on information from the National Survey by Household Sample, in 2004, 2009 and 2013. It was observed for both Brazil and rural and urban areas, increasing household food security, although food insecurity is still a problem in the country. Households in which the reference person is female, non-whites, younger, with lower level of education, lower income, without electricity, piped water or sewage and residing in the Northeast or North, have a greater chance of food insecurity. In addition, food insecurity in Brazil is higher in rural areas, however, when controlling for household characteristics, the chances of food insecurity are higher in the urban areas, which can be explained by access to land.

Os resultados para o Estado do Paraná e para maior parte das mesorregiões, sugere que o capital humano é estatisticamente significativo e positivo para explicar o crescimento econômico, sendo que o nível educacional que representa a proporção da PEA com ensino médio completo e superior incompleto, teve os maiores coeficientes.

ABSTRACTThis paper aims to analyze the relationship between human capital and economic growth for the State of Paraná from 2000 to 2010, using panel data. The regression to the State of Paraná and for most of the mesoregions suggests that human capital is significant and positive to explain economic growth, and the educational level that represents the proportion of the EAP with complete high school and incomplete upper, had the higher coefficients. Therefore, it is possible to observe that human capital is a relevant factor for Parana's economic growth.Código JEL: C01, E24, O47. INTRODUÇÃOO crescimento econômico tem sido uma preocupação da literatura econômica desde os autores clássicos. Entretanto, a principal contribuição nesta temática é atribuída ao modelo de Solow, que modelou o progresso técnico exógeno. Posteriormente, há diversas contribuições buscando incorporar o progresso tecnológico de forma endógena no modelo, de forma que o capital humano surge como insumo na função de produção (BARRO E SALA-I-MARTIN, 2003) 3 . Nesta perspectiva, Romer (1990) destaca a importância do capital humano na geração de pesquisas, na originem de novas ideias, na promoção do progresso tecnológico, de forma a aumentar a produtividade e, portanto, o crescimento econômico.
