Answer 1

Answer:

Economic inequality in Brazil has reached extreme levels, despite being one of largest economies in the world. The last decades have seen incredible progress across Brazil. The country has been able to reduce inequality, taking millions of people out of poverty and thereby raising the base of the social pyramid.

But despite this evolution, the pace has been very slow and the Latin American giant is still listed as one of the most unequal countries on the planet.
