DEVELOPMENT, POVERTY AND SOCIAL INEQUALITIES IN BRAZIL

Abstract

This study aims to provide an overview of inequalities and poverty in Brazil. The data analysis regarding poverty and social inequality was based on the "Report of the Brazilian Observatory of Inequalities of August 2023". The Document found that inequalities and poverty remain high in Brazil, especially racial, gender and social inequalities. Black people are at a disadvantage compared to other groups, especially in food insecurity; precariousness in education; low income; high homicide rates; shortage of basic sanitation. Therefore, Brazil must persist in the implementation of public policies, meeting the continuous need to promote citizenship, dignity, security and protection. It is essential to adopt a democratic and radical approach to redistribute income, wealth, power and ensure access to the state.
