Perfil socioprofissional parlamentar: um estudo sobre a composição da Câmara dos Deputados da 51ª a 57ª legislatura.

Abstract

This research analyzes the social composition of the Chamber of Deputies from the 51st to 57th legislature, by means of the description of data collected from the TSE. The present study is based on the work Parties, Ideology and Social Composition: A Study of the Party Banks in the Chamber of Deputies by the author Leôncio Martins Rodrigues, published in the year 2002. This work aims to identify which social and professional profiles have emerged in the occupation of seats in the federal legislature during the legislatures formed between 1998 and 2022. The elected candidates were assessed in nine categories, which made it possible to conclude the predominance of certain characteristics of the representatives elected to exercise the office of deputies in the largest legislative house of the country. This work used a descriptive approach from the analysis of the selected cases. In the end, it was possible to conclude that certain social tracks are over-represented, since the aspects that most highlighted were the predominance of male individuals, with high levels of education and who have politics as a profession.
