The Geography of Poverty Posted by on Feb 9, 2009 in Economy

The Folha de Sao Paulo newspaper online has an excellent map showing poverty and development rates throughout Brazil. On the map, you can see level of family development, access to work, income, child development, standard of living conditions, access to information and learning, and vulnerability. You can also search by municipality.
