Social immobility in Brazil
The Institute for Mobility and Social Development (IMDS) has released the Atlas of Social Mobility, which shows that in Brazil, only about 10% of the population aged 35 to 42 who were born among the poorest 50% of the population manage to reach the top 25% of the income bracket.
