Atlas of Social Mobility: Children of the poor remain in poverty when they reach adulthood in Brazil

For young people who start life in the most vulnerable households, reaching the top of the national economic pyramid is a statistically rare reality. The survey shows that only 8.32% of these individuals manage to reach the group of the richest 25% in Brazil in adulthood. The study also shows that only 1.28% of children from vulnerable families manage to enter the group of the 10% with the highest income in the country. The public platform, which follows the trajectory of about 7 million Brazilians born between 1983 and 1990, was developed by the Institute for Mobility and Social Development (IMDS) in partnership with the research group Prospera Lab.
