In 2022, the headcount poverty rate at 3.65 U.S. dollars per day in Brazil was 8.42 percent, meaning the share of the Brazilian population living on less than 3.65 dollars per day. The poverty rate increased steadily from 2014 to 2019 when this percentage was 10.75.

In 2023, 27.5 percent of Brazil's population was below the poverty line, which was set at 664.02 Brazilian reals. In 2021, the poverty rate peaked at 36.7 percent.

In 2023, the state of Maranhão had the highest poverty rate in Brazil, with 51.6 percent of the population living in poverty. Santa Catarina, on the other hand, had the lowest poverty rate at 11.6 percent.

In 2023, the state of Acre had the highest extreme poverty rate in Brazil, with over 13 percent of the population living in extreme poverty. Rio Grande do Sul had the lowest extreme poverty rate at 1.3 percent.

Brazil BR: Poverty Headcount Ratio at $1.90 a Day: 2011 PPP: % of Population data is updated yearly, averaging 10.750 % from Dec 1981 (Median) to 2020, with 36 observations. The data reached an all-time high of 27.400 % in 1983 and a record low of 1.700 % in 2020. Brazil BR: Poverty Headcount Ratio at $1.90 a Day: 2011 PPP: % of Population data remains active status in CEIC and is reported by World Bank. The data is categorized under Global Database’s Brazil – Table BR.World Bank.WDI: Social: Poverty and Inequality. Poverty headcount ratio at $1.90 a day is the percentage of the population living on less than $1.90 a day at 2011 international prices. As a result of revisions in PPP exchange rates, poverty rates for individual countries cannot be compared with poverty rates reported in earlier editions.; ; World Bank, Poverty and Inequality Platform. Data are based on primary household survey data obtained from government statistical agencies and World Bank country departments. Data for high-income economies are mostly from the Luxembourg Income Study database.

In 2023, the share of indigenous population in Brazil that had an average per capita income below the poverty line reached 30 percent. In comparison to the previous year, this represents a decrease of 3.9 percentage points. Overall, in Latin America in 2022, Colombia had the highest share of indigenous population living in extreme poverty.

Regardless of the employment status, the percentage of the population of Brazil whose average per capita income was below the poverty line experienced a downward trend between 2001 and 2014. In the case of the unemployed population, the share fell from 51.6 to 31.6 percent. However, the percentage of people in unemployment living under the poverty line has been oscillating since that year, and in 2023 the share stood at 38 percent. Furthermore, less than six percent of employees in Brazil were living under the poverty line that year.

Abstract Since the 1990s various Latin American countries have adopted public polices to reduce poverty and social exclusion, highlighted by the income transfer programs that compose the central core of government actions in various countries. The objective of this study is to conduct a comparative analysis of the evolution of poverty in Brazil and Argentina in the early 21st century, as well as the public policies of the time. The analysis focused on secondary data about the two themes found in both countries. It concludes that these programs contribute decisively to reducing the levels of poverty in the two countries, yet emphasizes that the eradication of poverty requires greater articulation between the various social policies and emphasizes the need for the construction and consolidation of a broad social protection system.

In 2023, the prevalence of extreme poverty among black men and women in Brazil was higher than that observed in other demographic groups. In particular, the rate of extreme poverty among black men reached two percent, which was the highest among all demographic groups.

In 2023, the Northeast region of Brazil remained the region with the highest rate of extreme poverty in the country. However, compared to 2022, the rate decreased by around two percent.

Abstract

The objective of the research is to provide adequate information for planning, monitoring and analysis of economic policies and social programs in relation to their impacts on the conditions of home life, especially those of the poorest populations. Substantially, the survey provides an overview of the well-being of household residents and allows the study of its determinants. Starting from the premise that quantifying and situating a problem is not enough, the research seeks explanations that allow indicating solutions. For example, knowing how many poor people there are, how and where they live and what they do is only part of the investigation. In order to produce information that can support more effective solutions, a detailed survey of the causes and consequences of poverty is necessary. The same principle applies to other areas of social welfare. In this way, the survey questionnaire is designed to provide a set of integrated information with the aim of:

· Measure the distribution of well-being and the level of poverty, mainly in areas where subsistence agriculture, the informal economy and seasonal employment predominate · Describe the patterns of access and use of public services - education, health, basic sanitation, etc. · Understand how households react to economic conditions and the impacts of government measures · Allow complex analyses of the relationships between the various aspects of social well-being, such as the impact of health on employment, the pattern of spending on nutritional levels of residents, etc.

The research, however, does not address the various topics investigated with the same depth as the information collected in topical research. At the same time, due to having a small sample, the accuracy of the results is less than that of topical research. However, due to its thematic scope, the research allows a good multidimensional summary of well-being and the study of the interactions between the various factors.

Sampling procedure

(a) THE SAMPLE PLANNING

The sample design of the PPV - Research on Living Standards - was discussed with World Bank technicians and the sample size was determined according to the budget available for the research. As a pilot research, it was chosen to be carried out only in the Northeast and Southeast regions of the country, considering 10 geographic strata, namely: Metropolitan Region of Fortaleza, Metropolitan Region of Recife, Metropolitan Region of Salvador, remainder of the urban area of the Northeast, remainder of rural area of the Northeast, Metropolitan Region of Belo Horizonte, Metropolitan Region of Rio de Janeiro, Metropolitan Region of São Paulo, remainder of the urban area of the Southeast and remainder of the rural area of the Southeast. As in other household surveys conducted by IBGE, a design with two stages of selection was chosen, with stratification of the primary units and selection proportional to a size measure and random selection of the second stage units. The primary unit is the sector of the geographical base of the 1991 Demographic Census and the second stage unit is the household.

(b) SAMPLE SIZE The sample size for each geographic stratum was fixed at 480 households. In each geographic stratum, the number of sectors to be selected was set at 60 and 8 households in each sector, with the exception of strata that correspond to the rest of the rural area of each Region, where the number of sectors was fixed at 30 and 16 the number of households to be selected by sector, due to the difficulty of access to these sectors, which would imply increase costs. The size of the fixed sample was defended by World Bank technicians due to the experience in other countries where the research was or is being conducted, the need to produce information as quickly as possible and because the research is not intended to produce tabulation with crossings of variables, as occurs with the information from the National Household Sample Survey - PNAD, but to provide trend or variation indicators at very aggregate levels.

(c) THE DEFINITION OF STATISTICAL STRATA

The final sample size of households was fixed according to the cost, more specifically the financial resources available. As a result, the sample size of sectors and the number of households to be selected by sector were also fixed, namely: - 60 sectors and 8 households per sector, in urban geographic strata and metropolitan regions - 30 sectors and 16 households per sector, in rural geographic strata

Before the allocation in the income strata, the total sample in the 10 geographic strata had 540 sectors and 4,800 households. Proportional allocation was used, based on the number of occupied permanent private households, obtained by Census 91.

In the case of the unemployed and inactive population, the share fluctuates. All statuses peak in 2021, being for the unemployed sector with the highest difference with 21.9 in share increase among them.

Abstract

In an environment where the Bank must demonstrate its impact and value, it is critical that the institution collects and tracks empirical data on how its work is perceived by clients, partners and other stakeholders in our client countries.

In FY 2013, the Country Opinion Survey Program was scaled up in order to: - Annually assess perceptions of the World Bank among key stakeholders in a representative sample of client countries; - Track these opinions over time, representative of: regions, stakeholders, country lending levels, country income/size levels, etc. - Inform strategy and decision making: apply findings to challenges to ensure real time response at several levels: corporate, regional, country - Obtain systematic feedback from stakeholders regarding: - The general environment in their country; - Value of the World Bank in their country; - World Bank's presence (work, relationships, etc.); - World Bank's future role in their country. - Create a feedback loop that allows data to be shared with stakeholders.
