A most interesting summary on Brazilian demography. These figures contain the seed of revolution in Brazil: According to the 2000 population census, there are 169,544 million Brazilians, a figure 2 million above what was expected according to the Censuses of 1991, 1995 (that is, population growth has increased and is currently at 1,6% a year. Moreover, women are a _majority_ of the population (which implies a potentially higher fertility, if the age distribution is taken into account, and helps explaining the differences between the previsions and the actual results), and, most important -and probably surprising to many outside Latin America- 81,2% of the population lives in urban areas. That is, an extremely unequal country, with a teeming population concentrated in cities, with a majority of women, and in conditions of unabated industrialization. A time bomb, methinks. What do Brazilian cdes. say?
