Human Poverty Index

Population without access to clean water:

While 20% of the Brazilian population (about 37 million people) lacks access to potable water, in rural areas the portion rises to 90% without proper sanitation, including

access to clean drinking water. The crisis reaches into the periphery of the cities.(http://www.landaction.org/display.php?article=271)

Children underweight for their age:

A low Gini coefficient indicates more equal income or wealth distribution, while a high Gini coefficient indicates

more unequal distribution. 0 corresponds to perfect equality (everyone having exactly the same income) and 1 corresponds to perfect inequality (where one person

has all the income, while everyone else has zero income).

Lorenz Curve

Gini coefficient: 56.7

Conclusion

It is a BRIC country which refers to the fast growing developing economies of Brazil,

Russia, India and China.

Still a developing nation

Relatively low school life expectancy

• A Gini coefficient is a summary numerical measure of how unequally one variable is related to another.

• The Gini index is the Gini coefficient expressed as a percentage, and is equal to the Gini coefficient multiplied by 100.

Gini Index: 0 represents perfect economic

equality, and 100 perfect inequality

Fairness of Income Distribution

• The Gini coefficient for the entire world has been estimated by various parties to be between 0.56 and 0.66.

• Most developed European nations have Gini coefficients between 0.24 and 0.36, Japanese has a Gini coefficient below 0.25, indicating that Japan’s income distribution is quite balanced.
