The country registered over 2.5 mi births in 2022, down 3.5% from 2021 and 10.8% from the average for the ten years before the pandemic (2010–2019).
A total of 111.28 mi people live up to 150km from the Brazilian coast—54.8% of the population in 2022—and 9.42 mi (4.6%) live on the border, also at a distance of up to 150km from the limits of the national territory.
One out of five young people aged 15–29 were in this situation in 2023—9.6 mi youths. Conversely, 15.3% of youths worked and studied, 39.4% only worked, and 25.5% only studied.
The rise was driven by a record 15.1% rise in the agricultural sector, the most significant leap since the beginning of the time series in 1995. Industry and services also saw an improvement.
This percentage has been declining since 2016, when it peaked at 35.5 percent of Gross Domestic Product. In 2021, wages accounted for 31 percent of GDP.
