Major Social Issues Brazil is a country that experience various types of social issues. There is need to have a drastic improvement in the sector so as to sail the Brazil through There are various problems that prevail with regard to social problems. These problems have a great impact on the Brazil economy Cont’d It is worth noting that like any other country, Brazil tries to improve its economic status This can be done only when the job opportunities are increased in the country In addition, the income of the brazil people need to be increased to have a stable country. However, the country's population is wanting. Cont’d This has led to inequality among the Brazilians. Illiteracy is another thing that hinders development in Brazil In addition, lack of proper infrastructure acts as a hindrance in the development strategies that are laid down in Brazil. It is imeprative to study some of the social issues that affect Brazil. These issues are discussed here below: Poverty It is said that 10% of richest people in Brazil can access 40% of the Brazil country income. On the other hand, 10% of the poorest people only access 1%. This implies that the rich people will continue to be rich while the poor people will continue to be poor This brings about inequality in the country Cont’d Slums are all over in the cities showing the poverty rate is high millions of people live in poverty with only the selected and affluent few living in richness. Most people lack basic needs required for survival Infact, some researches shows more than half of Brazilians can not access basic needs Crime There is high crime rates in Brazil country This has been made to be the case because of the high poverty rates People cannot survive on their own without relying on others It has become detrimental as many tend to engage in unlawful actions Cont’d Most crimes in Brazil include robbing, mugging, gang violence, and kidnapping. People engaging in robbing others in the streets as well as in their homes There is also mugging that most people living in poverty do engage in Cont’d In addition, some people do practice gang violence that ends up harming others They also do kidnap with a mere reason of soliciting money from their families All these kind of unlawful activities are done by people who have less in their pockets It can only be curbed if the gap between the rich and the poor is narrowed Education Good number of children fail to attend schools due to malnutrition These are children who come from poor backgrounds that making an earning is a problem There is also low school attendance as a result of poor family backgrounds These families can rarely raise fund to educate their children Cont’d The biggest reason with education is nonattendance by children. most children fail to attend to classes in order to start helping their parents It is notable that many children with an age of 10 starts helping their parents and thus fails to attend the school. This is a thing that the Brazil government have fought but fruitless. Cont’d Another problem is having of few education institutions in local areas. This makes children not to attend classes In addition, some of the facilities are poorly maintained making reading a problem. There are also high violence in schools that make children fear to attend classes. It has been noted that 1 out of 10 children who are below 18 years are unable to write or read. This is a very serious case that should be looked at. Cont’d Education is imperative to raising living standards of any given community Therefore this will tend to bring about more crimes in the area if not checked well In addition, those poor families feels that if they were not educated then there is no need to educate their children This ends up having low class attendance in Brazil especially where poverty strives Infant Mortality Infant Mortality rate is high in Brazil This is a major social issue as young people ends up being eradicated Infant mortality mostly comes as a result of low financial income With low finances, the parents are not in a position to provide for their children Cont’d They end up having low quality life that is being threatened by nature Another cause of infant mortality is poor sanitation Poor sanitation may lead to children’s life being threatened leading to deaths It will be imperative to provide good sanitation to the Brazilian children Cont’d Another issue is poor education Poor education may mean that the parents did not receive proper education on how to bring up children This will be brought forward to the children who are seen to be at the receiving end. Infant mortality is mostly found in areas where there is no enough of the basic needs Major Economic Issues There are different economic issues that has hit Brazil country These goes hand in hand with what the country can afford to its citizens Government intervention is very important in trying to make ends meet It will be imperative if they are discussed one by one as it is done here below: Stock Investors It has been unfolding disaster for the stock investors in Brazil Most people in Brazil fear to invest in stocks markets due to various economic problems The iShares fell to 75% since 2011 to 2015.

It is important for the government to discourage deforestation in Brazil The government needs to encourage its people about the policy of cut one plant two trees This will end this menace Fishing industry Fishing industry has been faced with undervalued market opportunity that is emerging. This implies that the industry is still wanting. There are so many things that the fishing industry need to employ to make it a success. It will be in point if the Brazil government subsidies the prices of fish to make it thrive References Bouchard, M. J. (2010).
