Social inequality
Inequality between the states of Brazil is directly linked to the geographic distribution of wealth and public and private investments in each region.
States that went through an industrialization process, such as those in the Southeast region, tend to have better rates of quality of life. In addition, income concentration also influences the position of states in the ranking.
To determine the rankings, data on health, education, inequality and income opportunities were considered. The industrialization process and state capitals also influence ranking positions.
Anyway, there are some cities outside the “wealth radar” that are considerably developed and economically stable, such as:
- Feira de Santana (BA);
- Caruaru (PE);
- Petrolina (PE);
- Mossoró (RN);
- Campina Grande (PB);
- Goiania (GO);
- Uberlandia (MG);
- João Pessoa (PB).
Several factors must be taken into account when choosing a city to live in, such as health, education, security, economy and leisure options. Furthermore, the generation of jobs is an important differentiator.
And speaking of employment, the most “employing” cities in the country are:
- São Paulo;
- Rio de Janeiro;
- Brasilia;
- Belo Horizonte;
- Strength;
- Goiania;
- Savior;
- Curitiba;
- Manaus;
- Recife.
Despite the economic disparity between its regions, Brazil is a rich country that offers opportunities for development throughout its territory.
