- Abstract
The garment production in Rio Grande do Norte (RN) used to be characterized by a concentration of companies and job opportunities in Natal. Recently, there was a reduction of these variables in the aforementioned capital, while a contrary movement was observed in the countryside of the state. The aim of this paper is to understand the changes in the territorial division of labor of the garment industry in RN. Methodology included bibliographic review, systematization of secondary data and empirical research. We found a redefinition of the division of labor, with agents promoting corporate usage of the territory. This causes dispersion of the production units that perform sewing services to municipalities in the Seridó region of the state. In contrast, the large factories continue to be in charge of production by performing other stages of the production process in the cities of Natal and Parnamirim. The outsourcing of the sewing production consolidated in Seridó an internal division of labor focused on the textile and clothing sector, with some municipalities sewing for large factories, while others specializing in producing clothing accessories and household textile articles.
