Perhaps the most important social indicator is the extent

of extreme poverty prevailing in the country. Poverty is high

in Brazil.
Study of World bank found that from 1960 to 1980 the per
capita income grew by 220% whereas at the same time 34%
decline show in the shares of poor's.
According to estimates,
2009 => 10.8% of population => Less than $2 per day
2013 => 6.1% of population=> Less than $1.25 per day
UNDP, 15% of Brazilians have income of less than $1 per
day.
Bolsa Familia Government program addressing poverty
through Conditional Cash Transfer and the aim is to keep
children's vaccinated and in schools.
Inequality
For decades, Brazils inequality in income (as well as in
land and other assets) has ranked among the worst in the
world.
High inequality not only produces social strains but can
also slow down the process of growth.
Income distribution data of brazil shows that the top 10%
of income earners receive about 43% of national income,
while the bottom 40% receive just 10%.
UNDP concludes that high inequality is the reason for the
high level of extreme poverty and the very slow rate of
poverty reduction. Inequality in assets is also high.
Brazilians analyst concluded that increase in minimum
wages of workers due to Bolsa Familia and other programs
reduces the level of inequality.
Land Reforms
Land is very unequally distributed in Brazil, and there is
both an efficiency and a social equity case for land
reform.
land reform has been repeatedly blocked in Brazil by the
political power of large plantation owners.
In the response of this blockade, a movement starts
called Landless movement in which thousand of
families have taken part. In this movement farmers have
settled in rain forest area, but they find themselves
unable to acquire a land that is agriculturally suitable.
Finally as a result of this movement government has
initiated land reforms in brazil.
Sustainability of development
Due to large and powerful political spectrum, the
Brazilians are unaware of the destruction of forest which
is a pressing problem in the country.
Deforestation of the Brazilians Amazon rain forest
conflicts arises that is short and long term development
goals, huge inequality and state intervention.
According to data in 2007 the Amazon rain forest would
be reduced by 40% and till now it is still shrinking.
Development projects and schemes such as subsidized ore
mining, charcoal-consuming industries, and cattle
ranching, were carried out on a large scale.
In the other point of view the rest of the world benefits
from Brazils rain forests through prevention of global
warming and many others.
 Problem of Social Inclusion
Racial discrimination is the major problem in Brazil.
But about half of the population of Brazil is of African or
mulatto heritage. As a result Brazil is considered as
worlds largest black nation after Nigeria.
Although racial discrimination is a crime in Brazil, no
one has ever been sent to jail for it. According to one
estimate, the average black worker receives only 41% of
the salary of the average white worker, whereas 62% of
the country's extreme poor's live in Northeast.
Black representation in the government is still rare
because of the non-whites make up the majority in the
state population.
Conclusion
There are still a lot of areas for improvements, Such areas
includes Racism, Poverty reduction.
Brazil will have to make social inclusion and human
development, as well as environmental sustainability, if they
want to resume rapid economic growth.
Bolsa Familia Program was a successful initiative, that
encouraged education & improved standard of living of the
Brazilians.
Health care and availability of medicines has improves that can
be seen from the increase in life Expectancy and child
mortality ratios.
Malnutrition has also decreased in Brazil.
So here we conclude that Brazil has experienced some
economic growth without as much social development, rather
than the more blanketing growth without development
