| dc.description.other | This paper documents the evolution of poverty and inequalities over the last four decades using consistent data from the Brazilian Household Surveys (PNADs). We show that poverty declined substantially over the period, because of growth, economic stabilization, education and the minimum wage. We then describe the behavior of inequality, focusing on three income strata: the poor, middle class and the rich. We show that there has been a notable improvement in educational access in Brazil since the 1990s, especially for pre school and high school. Regarding the labor market, there was a marked increase in wages of the poor and the middle classes between 2001 and 2013, which can be linked to educational improvements and to the increase in the value of the minimum wage. This increase in wages, added to the reduction in the number of individuals per family, the greater insertion of women in the labor market and the expansion of social spending, culminated with an increase in the per capita family income among the poor. This rise in income is reflected in the rising share of poor families that own basic household assets, such as a refrigerator and a bathroom inside the household. With respect to public infrastructure, piped water and electricity reached near universal access. Sewage treatment, nevertheless, is still beyond the reach of half the households in the country. We conclude that the lives of the poor have improved in the last forty years, but Brazil still has a long way to go decrease inequality of opportunities. | pt_BR |
