Much of the research on international management, notably on global value chains (GVCs), analyzes the relationship between firm integration and local productive clus-ters (APLs) in these chains and economic development. Less analysis is found relating this integration and the improvement of social well-being, understood as improvements in remuneration, living conditions, labor rights, gender equality and economic security of workers; which causes the theme to remain unfinished. This study aims to analyze if there were and what were the benefits to the economy and social welfare of commu-nities belonging to the granite APLs of Espírito Santo state in a period of appreciable increase of the integration of these APLs in the GVCs. The analysis is justified because although the economic benefits treated as product, process, functional, and chain up-grading have already been well studied, on the impacts of integration on social upgrad-ing there still remain basic doubts. To reach the objective, the study makes quantitative analysis of secondary data - export volumes of the mineral, indicators of income, health and education of the municipalities of the region. It contributes to the knowledge about this subject by verifying the existence or not of the positive relation between integration in the GVCs and social upgrading, a relation that has been studied until now, without conclusive results, almost exclusively through qualitative exploratory studies.
