Brazil has a population of over 210 million, making it the seventh most populous country. It has a young demographic profile compared to developed nations, with a median age of about 34.
GDP per capita is approximately $9,000-10,000, with significant income inequality — Brazil's Gini coefficient is among the highest in the world. Social programs like Bolsa Família have helped reduce extreme poverty.
Brazil has a large informal economy, with estimates suggesting 40% or more of workers are in informal employment, lacking formal protections and contributing to inequality.
