Study shows that women and non-white individuals have more difficulty getting out of poverty

Sex and race inequalities continue to be factors that hinder social mobility in Brazil, according to data from the Atlas of Social Mobility, developed by the Institute for Mobility and Social Development (IMDS) in partnership with Prospera Lab. Among women who were born in the 25% of the poorest families in the country, 65.12% remain in the same income range in adulthood. Among men, this percentage is 32.95%.
