According to the World Bank, the crisis that hit Brazil between 2014 and 2017 increased from 17.9% to 21% the percentage of Brazilians living with less than US$ 5.50 per day.
In addition, the poor economic performance of Brazil, Argentina, and Mexico, coupled with the very serious situation in Venezuela, led the World Bank to revise its expectation of Latin American economic growth in 2019 to 0.9%.
In Brazil, the picture of increasing misery pointed out by the World Bank is compounded by high unemployment rates.
A survey by the Center for Management and Strategic Studies (CGEE) of the Brazilian Ministry of Science, Technology, Innovation, and Communications pointed out that the number of Brazilians with unemployed PhDs reaches 25%. In the world, the unemployment rate of this group is around 2%. In Brazil, the unemployment rate among people with a master's degree reaches 35%.
In the semester closed in February 2019, unemployment in Brazil stood at 13.1%, according to data released by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE). With 27.9 million underutilized workers, the underutilization of the workforce has reached a record in the IBGE's history series.
