Developmental inequalities between regions are linked mainly to the social and economic structures of the country, which configures the disparities in terms of allocation of physical, natural and human capital. Thus, the present study aims to verify the relationship between average schooling of the Brazilian metropolitan regions and the average income of the population, analyzing how the average schooling explains the income, and consequently, the level of inequality. The hypothesis considered in this study is that the higher the level of instruction of the population of a given region, the higher the average income, in order to verify that if there are inequalities in relation to the educational level, the levels of income. The analysis covers the metropolitan regions of Brazil from 2001 to 2015. The data used were obtained from data provided by IBGE and PNAD (Pesquisa Nacional por Amostra de Domicílios). For the study, mean annual household income ranging from a minimum wage to more than twenty minimum wages, including households receiving only benefits, and average schooling were considered, considering persons aged 10 years or over, from more than fifteen years of instruction. To verify the evolution of the average schooling of the regions in relation to the time of study, the log-linear regression model was used. In a similar way the analysis was made to compare if changes in the years of instruction impacted the average income, applying the regression called double-log. The analysis of both models of linear regression indicates that, for all the cases examined, there is a positive relation between the average schooling of the population in relation to the time, that is, it presents a growth in the average annual schooling rate between the years studied, it is verified that given an increase in the average schooling of the population, there is also an increase in the average income of the region, certifying that education generates positive impacts on the income of the population and, consequently, reinforces the Human Capital Theory and proves the initial hypothesis of the research. Note the importance of human capital for the development of the regions and the Country.
