BRAZIL

The Brazilian economy is very dynamic and diversified, but it does not reflect the social development of the country. Although many ethical groups in Brazil live together peacefully, the question of social and regional origin is a constant companion in everyday life. Especially the black population, as well as the indigenous population, are disadvantaged. They are often excluded and marginalized and are denied career opportunities. In search of work, many migrate to the outskirts of the big cities and live there in poverty with little prospects for the future.
