Brazil’s black population (brown people included) make up the majority of unemployed (64.2%) or subutilized (66.1%) workers, according to the report Desigualdades sociais por cor ou raça no Brasil (“Color- and Race-based Social Inequalities in Brazil”), released today by the government’s statistics agency IBGE. The survey combines data from various studies and was released in the month of the Black Awareness Day, November 20.

Today, blacks account for 55.8 percent of the country’s population and 54.9% of its work force.

Informality also affects this section of the population more severely. While 34.6 percent of whites work informally, 47.3 percent of black and brown people have a job with no official records.

Income
This landscape can be seen reflected on people’s monthly income, argued IBGE analyst João Hallak. Blacks account for 75.2 percent of the population with the lowest revenues and only 27.7 percent of the ten percent of the population with the highest income surveyed by the institute.

In a gender-based comparison, black and brown women earn an average income of 44 percent of the amount made by white men. Black men, in turn, receive 56.1 percent of the income of a white man.

The white population, Hallak went on to say, has a higher income regardless of how educated they are. “Even among those with a university degree, people of white color or race receive 45 percent more than the average income of the black or brown population with the same level of education,” he noted.

Poverty
While 15.4 percent of Brazilian whites are under the poverty line, 32.9 percent of black Brazilians make up the portion of the population living with up to $5.50 a day. Under the extreme poverty line—i. e. making no more than a daily $1.90—are 3.6 percent of whites and 8.8 percent of black and brown people.

The report, IBGE stated, sheds light on inequality between the black and brown population and the white. In all, these groups add up to 99 percent of the Brazilian population. Asian and indigenous do not have enough statistic representation to be taken into account in the sample used in this survey.

slavery never truly ended.

The world really need to transcribe from racial discrimination and racial payment of workers!
But, what can I say....
I can't change what the whites think of the blacks except the blacks change their reputation first.

I know all this about Brazil. It is a very discriminatory country for Black people. This is why I laugh at Nigerians running there to give birth so they can have Brazil papers. If the country is unfair to its indigenous Black citizens, then how do you think it will treat Black foreigners like African immigrants? Some Nigerians when migrating just go from frying pan to fire in the name of wanting to japa at all cost. They leave Nigeria and end up in another developing country outside Africa to continue the struggle life from where they left off from. Shio!
