Brazil: extreme inequality in numbers

Brazil's economic disparity is one of the world's largest economies, but it has reached an extreme level. Brazilian progress has been amazing for the past few decades. This country has reduced inequality, liberated millions of people from poverty, and thereby raised the foundation of the social pyramid

The current level of inequality in Brazil has declined in 75 years, it will take 75 years for Britain to reach its current income equity level in the UK and reach Spanish standards for almost 60 years. Compared with neighboring countries, Brazil is 35 years behind Uruguay and 30 years behind Argentina.

In 19-year-old Brazil, those who earn the minimum wage per month need to work for 19 years to earn the same money from the wealthiest 0.1% population in the year.

Over the past 15 years, 28 million Brazil released 28 million people from poverty and reduced the number of poor people to less than 10%. However, wealthy people continue to receive the most benefits. Between 2001 and 2015, the richest 10% accounted for 61% of economic growth.

Despite millions of people getting rid of poverty over the past few decades, Brazil is still facing a big gap between the country's wealthiest population and other people. To make matters worse, inequality has the potential to reverse national progress in poverty eradication.
