The Minimum Wage in Brazil
Brazil has a population of 169 million people - is the country with the highest inequality index in the world, according to the 1999 Human Development Report of UNDP. About 80 percent of the population in the world have an average income below the average income of Brazil. ... In Brazil, there are therefore a lot of very poor people surrounded by sufficient resources to eliminate their poverty. ... The big pocket of poverty in Brazil are the children. ... This debate develops along three lines of action: Traditional social policies to combat poverty, a guaranteed minimum wage, and the minimum income programmes. This paper will focus on the effect of the minimum wage since there are many controversies regarding this topic.
In Brazil, as in other countries, the purpose of the minimum wage legislation is to redistribute earning to low- paid workers in order to assure the satisfaction of their basic needs.
