In Brazil, 22.61% of Brazilians in this age group live in extreme poverty. 9.4 million minors have a monthly per capita family income less than or equal to one minimum wage. The data are part of the 2019 Child and Adolescent Scenario, prepared by the Abrinq Foundation based on the most recent data from the IBGE.
