About - 2018

The Survey of Basic State Information - Estadic is a detailed survey of administrative records on the structure, dynamics and operation of the state public institutions, especially the state administration, including also different aspects of the sectoral policies under the responsibility of this governmental sphere. Its results allow the consolidation of a statistical database and updated registers, including assessment and monitoring indicators of the institutional and administrative boards of the Federation Units, under the perspective of management.

This publication releases the results of the survey carried out in the second semester of 2018 in the 27 Federation Units, aiming at permanently improving and updating the variables investigated since 2012, year of the first edition of the survey. Organized into eight chapters, this version highlights issues related to human resources of the administrations, education, culture, social assistance, food security, labor and productive inclusion, and policies for women. As happened in the previous editions of the survey, the data now presented improve the knowledge on themes related to governments, decentralization, federalism, management and public policies, thus contributing to understand the diversity of state experiences in Brazil, a country markedly heterogeneous and of continental dimensions.

This publication includes technical notes about the survey and a glossary with the essential concepts to understand its results.  

The complete database of the survey and the tables of results of the Basic Questionnaire can be seen on the IBGE web portal.

The statistics now released reflect the different realities of Brazil and contribute to the democratization of the public management through the formulation and improvement of differentiated policies for specific issues of their population.
