Between 2014 and 2016, poverty rose from 17.7% to 20.1%, with millions falling below both the $5.50 and $1.90 (2011 PPP) per-day lines. By 2018, recovery had not reached the poorest 40%, whose average income remained lower than 2013. Rising unemployment and worsening inequality drove the shift, while COVID-19 was expected to further increase poverty in 2020.","Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized  \n\n| Poverty & Equity Brief\u003Cbr>Latin America & the Caribbean\u003Cbr>Brazil\u003Cbr>April 2020 |  |  |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Brazil's 2014-16 recession ended an eleven-year streak of poverty reduction. Recently released data show that it has disproportionately affected the poorest Brazilians and an uneven recovery means that millions of Brazilians remain worse off than they were before the crisis. Between 2014 and 2016, over 5.6 million Brazilians fell into poverty (defined as living on less than $5.50 per day in 2011 PPP terms) as poverty increased from 17.7 percent to 20.1 percent. The number living on less than $1.90 per day 2011 PPP increased by over 2.5 million to surpass 8 million. While the recovery began in 2017, the number of Brazilians living on less than $1.90 continued to grow, reaching 9.3 million by 2018. Poverty rates at the $5.50 line, on the other hand, began to recover marginally in 2018 as 600,000 Brazilians exited poverty.\u003Cbr>As of 2018, the recovery had yet to reach the poorest. In real terms, the average income of the poorest 40 percent was lower in 2018 than it had been in 2013, having fallen at an annualized rate of 0.5 percent, even as the average income grew at a rate of 0.33 percent per year during the same period. With significant income disruptions especially for informal and own-account workers, the COVID-19 pandemic is expected to increase poverty in 2020. As policies are implemented to mitigate its impact, it is crucial to consider the already weakened position of Brazil's poorest 40 percent.\u003Cbr>The crisis, and to a lesser degree the uneven recovery, has led to a significant rise in income inequality: the Gini index increased from 51.9 in 2015, already one of the highest in the region, to 53.3 in 2016. By 2018, it reached 53.9, higher than it had been in 2012. A decomposition analysis suggests that if growth had been evenly distributed, poverty would have fallen during this period.\u003Cbr>Unemployment is the primary culprit behind increased poverty and inequality. Rates increased significantly from 6.5 percent in the fourth quarter of 2014 to 13.7 in the first quarter of 2017. As of the last quarter of 2019, unemployment was at 11.0 percent. Rates are higher for youth (23.8 percent for 18-24 age group), for women than for men (13.1 and 9.2 percent respectively), and for those with less schooling (18.5 percent for those with incomplete secondary and 5.6 for those with tertiary education) . |  |  |  |  |\n| POVERTY\u003Cbr>National Poverty Line | Number of Poor (million)\u003Cbr>N/A | Rate (%)\u003Cbr>N/A |  | Period\u003Cbr>N/A |\n| International Poverty Line\u003Cbr>4.8 in Brazilian real (2018) or US$1.90 (2011 PPP) per day per capita | 9.3 | 4.4 |  | 2018 |\n| Lower Middle Income Class Poverty Line\u003Cbr>8 in Brazilian real (2018) or US$3.20 (2011 PPP) per day per capita | 19.2 | 9.2 |  | 2018 |\n| Upper Middle Income Class Poverty Line\u003Cbr>13.8 in Brazilian real (2018) or US$5.50 (2011 PPP) per day per capita | 41.7 | 19.9 |  | 2018 |\n| Multidimentional Poverty Measure |  | 9.0 |  | 2018 |\n| SHARED PROSPERITY |  |  |  |  |\n| Annualized Income Growth per capita of the bottom 40 percent | -0.43 2013-2018 |  |  |  |\n| \u003Cbr>INEQUALITY\u003Cbr>Gini Index 53.9 2018 |  |  |  |  |\n| Shared Prosperity Premium = Growth of the bottom 40-Average Growth |  | -1.09 | 2013-2018 |  |\n| GROWTH |  |  |  |  |\n| Annualized GDP per capita growth | -1.67 |  | 2013-2018 |  |\n| Annualized Income Growth per capita from Household Survey | 0.66 |  | 2013-2018 |  |\n| MEDIAN INCOME |  |  |  |  |\n| Growth of the annual median income/consumption per capita 0.42 2013-2018 |  |  |  |  |\n| Sources: WDI for GDP, National Statistical Offices for national poverty rates, POVCALNET as of Feburary 2020, and Global Monitoring Database for the rest. |  |  |  |  |\n| \u003Cbr>Poverty Economist: Liliana D.
