Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 January 2018
Abstract
Brazil is a country with 170 000 000 inhabitants (census for the year 2000), of whom 138 000 000 live in urban areas. The illiteracy rate, that is, people over 15 years of age who cannot write or read even a simple message, is 13.4%. About 25.6% of the population live on a family income less than half the minimum wage (1999 figures). Brazil's gross internal revenue is R$564 800 per capita (1998 figures, about US$1680 today).
