The minimum wage in Brazil will not increase above inflation in 2020, which has not happened for 15 years

According to the draft budget presented by the government of Jair Bolsonaro for the year 2020, the minimum wage should be R$ 1,040, only with the replacement of inflation. The project also does not predict real increase for servers, only the military will have increased above inflation.

If approved, the adjustment begins in January 2020, with payment starting in February 2020.

Thus, Bolsonaro interrupts a public policy of real increase of the minimum wage that it has begun 15 years ago, and that aimed at reducing the social inequalities of the country.

Brazil is one of the most unequal countries on the planet. Almost 30% of Brazil's income is in the hands of only 1% of the country's inhabitants.

According to Oxfam, 86% of Brazilians believe that the country's backwardness is related to the gigantic economic inequality between rich and poor.
