Southeast Region, Brazil - Social Care

Social Care

Health care and education are of major concern in the larger cities, but in smaller ones, the population are generally well-looked after.

Larger cities suffer from an increase in violence rates – mainly São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, which suffer the effects of Drug Mafia nowadays. Unemployment rates can be as high of 22% when informal working is not considered, or as high as 11% even with informal work. This leads to misery, worsens crime rates and other social problems like begging and child labour, for example.
