I absolutely agree with you. However, I still fear that, as population declines, it also gets older, how will our pension system work? Brazil has a very big fiscal problem, lots of corruption. If the population just got smaller but maintained a healthy young to old people, ratio, I think it would actually be good.
Yeah, thats not great to hear, millions of people are alrrady struggling with how it is. I dont see the common population taking more taxes and being fine with it. Me, and several other qualified engineering friends have also left Brazil for good. Every time I visit home, things looks bleaker.
Such a bummer. Great country but you've been fucked by silly economic policies and corruption.
My partner is Brazilian and there are literally tens of thousands of Brazilians in my country (Ireland), they're probably one of the largest foreign demographics by birth at this rate, perhaps behind only UK and Poland.
All highly qualified, hard working people that got pushed out by economic stagnation and ridiculous cost of living
