What the data shows

Computed with the same code as the observations under the main chart and in the API (get_insights). Moving together in time does not prove a cause.

What changed at the same time

  • The fastest decline of "Fertility (TFR)" was in 1964–1974: 5.82 → 4.50. Over the same years: births 3.34M → 3.54M; population 81.5M → 105M; urban share 47.9% → 58.7%; net migration −8.15k a year → −24.1k a year; life expectancy, men 52.6 years → 56.8 years; no data for the others in those years.
  • Over the last 10 years (2013–2023): fertility (TFR) 1.76 → 1.57; births 2.94M → 2.52M; population 198M → 211M; internet 51% → 84.2%; urban share 85.2% → 87.6%; GDP per person (PPP) 19,242 PPP dollars → 19,080 PPP dollars; GDP growth 3% → 3.2%; inflation 6.2% → 4.6%; net migration −157k a year → −240k a year; life expectancy, men 71.2 years → 72.8 years.

How the indicators relate

  • Fertility (TFR) and internet (1990–2023, 34 years): levels are strongly related, in opposite directions (r = −0.87); year-to-year changes show no reliable link (r = 0.00). This looks like a shared trend: both change over time, but not in step from year to year.
  • Fertility (TFR) and urban share (1960–2023, 64 years): levels are strongly related, in opposite directions (r = −0.99); year-to-year changes show no reliable link (r = 0.00). This looks like a shared trend: both change over time, but not in step from year to year.
  • Fertility (TFR) and GDP per person (PPP) (1990–2023, 34 years): levels are strongly related, in opposite directions (r = −0.92); year-to-year changes show no reliable link (r = 0.21). This looks like a shared trend: both change over time, but not in step from year to year.

Against other countries

  • Fertility (TFR), adjusted for income: countries with the same GDP per person (19,080 PPP dollars) typically have 1.98; here it is 1.57, lower than in 84% of countries at this income (2023, 197 countries).
  • Internet, adjusted for income: countries with the same GDP per person (19,650 PPP dollars) typically have 76.4%; here it is 84.5%, higher than in 77% of countries at this income (2024, 177 countries).
  • Order of events: urban majority: 1967; fertility below 3: 1990; fertility below 2.1: 2002; half the population online: 2013. Fertility fell below 3 after the urban share passed 50% in 69% of 111 countries where the order is known; median gap 9 years. Fertility fell below 2.1 before half the population went online in 88% of 112 countries where the order is known.

Forecasts vs actual

  • Fertility (TFR): past UN projections. The outcome was below the projection in 8 of 11 revisions (1998–2022) and above in 3; median gap −3.2%.
  • The UN 2004 projection did not expect today's level (1.57, 2023) before its horizon ended (2050).
  • The UN 2006 projection did not expect today's level (1.57, 2023) before its horizon ended (2050).
  • Fertility (TFR): UN 2024 projection (medium): 2050 — 1.56 (−1% vs 2023), 2100 — 1.58 (0% vs 2023); low variant for 2100: 1.08.
  • Births: past UN projections. The outcome was below the projection in 9 of 11 revisions (1998–2022) and above in 2; median gap −8.1%.
  • The UN 2004 projection did not expect today's level (2.38M, 2024) before its horizon ended (2050).
  • The UN 2022 projection expected today's level (2.38M, 2024) only after 2030: reality is at least 7 years ahead of it.
  • National statistics for 2024: 2.38M, 8% below the UN 2024 medium variant (2.57M).
  • Births: UN 2024 projection (medium): 2050 — 1.99M (−16% vs 2024), 2100 — 1.27M (−47% vs 2024); low variant for 2100: 415k.
  • Population: past UN projections. The outcome was below the projection in 12 of 12 revisions (1998–2022) and above in none; median gap −2.3%.
  • The UN 2000 projection expected this level (211M) already around 2020: reality is 3 years behind it.
  • The UN 2006 projection expected this level (211M) already around 2015: reality is 8 years behind it.
  • Population: UN 2024 projection (medium): 2050 — 217M (+3% vs 2023), 2100 — 163M (−23% vs 2023); low variant for 2100: 106M.
  • Why the UN missed the population. The 1998 projection for 2023: 215M; the UN's 2024 estimate: 211M (−1.7%). Parts of the gap (plus means more people than projected): the starting population +2.39M, births −7.7M, deaths +5.32M (fewer deaths than expected), migration −3.52M; the largest: births.
  • Why the UN missed the population. The 2010 projection for 2023: 214M; the UN's 2024 estimate: 211M (−1.4%). Parts of the gap (plus means more people than projected): the starting population −1.24M, births −253k, deaths +522k (fewer deaths than expected), migration −1.8M; the largest: migration.
  • GDP growth: IMF next-year forecasts (36 editions, 2007–2024). On average the outcome was 0.6 pp below the forecast; below it in 50% of cases; typical error ±2.2 pp. The biggest miss was for 2015: IMF, April 2014 expected 2.7%, the outcome was −3.5%.
  • GDP growth: latest IMF forecast (IMF, April 2026): 2026 — 1.9%, 2028 — 2.4%, 2031 — 2.5%.
  • Inflation: IMF next-year forecasts (36 editions, 2007–2024). On average the outcome was 1.2 pp above the forecast; below it in 36% of cases; typical error ±1.6 pp. The biggest miss was for 2021: IMF, October 2020 expected 2.9%, the outcome was 8.3%.
  • Inflation: latest IMF forecast (IMF, April 2026): 2026 — 4%, 2028 — 3%, 2031 — 3%.
  • Net migration: past UN projections. The outcome was above the projection in none of 12 revisions (1998–2022) and below in 12; median difference −199k a year. The biggest miss: the 2022 revision expected 6k a year for 2023; the outcome was −240k a year.
  • Net migration: UN 2024 projection (medium): 2030 — −146k a year, 2050 — −30k a year, 2100 — −22.1k a year.
  • Life expectancy, men: past UN projections. The outcome was above the projection in 3 of 12 revisions (1998–2022) and below in 9; median difference −0.9 years. The biggest miss: the 1998 revision expected 68.9 years for 2020–2025; the outcome was 71.4 years (for the years of the period so far).
  • Life expectancy, men: UN 2024 projection (medium): 2030 — 74.1 years, 2050 — 77.9 years, 2100 — 85.3 years.

UN projections vs actual

Solid line: actual data, UN WPP 2024 estimates; births and fertility from national statistics from the last year they matched the UN estimate (the UN's figures for the latest years are partly its own projection). Dashed: medium variants of past UN revisions. The table shows what each revision expected for the latest year (or five-year period) with actual data.

Brazil: Gini index1981: 57.9; 2024: 50.30204060801990200020102020

Gini index measures the extent to which the distribution of income (or, in some cases, consumption expenditure) among individuals or households within an economy deviates from a perfectly equal distribution. A Lorenz curve plots the cumulative percentages of total income received against the cumulative number of recipients, starting with the poorest individual or household. The Gini index measures the area between the Lorenz curve and a hypothetical line of absolute equality, expressed as a percentage of the maximum area under the line. Thus a Gini index of 0 represents perfect equality, while an index of 100 implies perfect inequality.

When data on number of tourists are not available, the number of visitors, which includes tourists, same-day visitors, cruise passengers, and crew members, is shown instead. Sources and collection methods for arrivals differ across countries. In some cases data are from border statistics (police, immigration, and the like) and supplemented by border surveys. In other cases data are from tourism accommodation establishments. For some countries number of arrivals is limited to arrivals by air and for others to arrivals staying in hotels. Some countries include arrivals of nationals residing abroad while others do not. Caution should thus be used in comparing arrivals across countries. The data on inbound tourists refer to the number of arrivals, not to the number of people traveling. Thus a person who makes several trips to a country during a given period is counted each time as a new arrival.

Agricultural land (% of land area)

28.3 % of land area latest value, 2023

Brazil: Agricultural land (% of land area)1961: 18.8; 2023: 28.30102030197019801990200020102020

Agricultural land refers to the share of land area that is arable, under permanent crops, and under permanent pastures. Arable land includes land defined by the FAO as land under temporary crops (double-cropped areas are counted once), temporary meadows for mowing or for pasture, land under market or kitchen gardens, and land temporarily fallow. Land abandoned as a result of shifting cultivation is excluded. Land under permanent crops is land cultivated with crops that occupy the land for long periods and need not be replanted after each harvest, such as cocoa, coffee, and rubber. This category includes land under flowering shrubs, fruit trees, nut trees, and vines, but excludes land under trees grown for wood or timber. Permanent pasture is land used for five or more years for forage, including natural and cultivated crops.

The share of 10-year-olds who cannot read and understand a short passage of age-appropriate material—in other words, those who are below the “minimum proficiency” threshold for reading. This measure is defined as the union of two deprivations: 1) schooling deprivation and 2) learning deprivation. A child is considered schooling-deprived (SD) if he or she is of primary school age and out-of-school. The dimension of learning deprivation (LD) applies only for children in school, and identifies those pupils who are below the minimum proficiency level (MPL) for reading, as defined by the Global Alliance to Monitor Learning (GAML), measured in standard learning assessments, and reported in the context of the SDG 4.1.1b monitoring. This “union approach” to measurement reflects the choice that, as presented in the SDGs, all age 10 children must be both in school and learning. The final learning poverty measure combines the two dimensions in a single indicator using the following formula: LP = SD + [(1-SD) x LD]

Brazil: Religiously affiliated adults2024: 84; 2024: 840204060801002020

Pew weighted adult survey responses, rounded to integer percentages; surveyed countries are not a representative sample of the world. Most observations are from 2024; US animal/nature/object spirits and afterlife are from 2023, while affiliation, importance, prayer, attendance and spirituality beyond nature use the 2023–2024 RLS. The table retains the full survey period and English response wording. Affiliation, beliefs and practice are different concepts. Do not multiply adult percentages by all-age population; 100 minus affiliation does not identify atheists. Thirteen missing cells remain missing: 12 questions not asked in Tunisia and one Bangladesh response excluded after a translation error.

Internet freedom: overall score

65 points out of 100 latest value, 2025

Brazil: Internet freedom: overall score2019: 64; 2025: 6502040608020202025

Freedom House expert assessment; higher scores mean more freedom, not a percentage of people or sites. Year denotes the edition, assessing June 1 of the previous year through May 31 of that year.

Neither government debt nor mortgages alone. Source definition: Domestic credit to private sector refers to financial resources provided to the private sector by financial corporations, such as through loans, purchases of nonequity securities, and trade credits and other accounts receivable, that establish a claim for repayment. For some countries these claims include credit to public enterprises. The financial corporations include monetary authorities and deposit money banks, as well as other financial corporations where data are available (including corporations that do not accept transferable deposits but do incur such liabilities as time and savings deposits). Examples of other financial corporations are finance and leasing companies, money lenders, insurance corporations, pension funds, and foreign exchange companies.

Brazil: Bank nonperforming loans2005: 3.53; 2025: 3.8801234520052010201520202025

Loans 90+ days overdue or unlikely to be repaid in full divided by gross loans, before provisions and collateral deductions. National rules and coverage can differ. Source definition: The indicator measures the proportion of a deposit taker’s loan portfolio that is impaired or at risk of default. It is calculated as the ratio of non-performing loans (NPLs) to total gross loans, where NPLs are defined as loans that are past due by 90 days or more or are otherwise considered unlikely to be repaid in full without the realization of collateral. Both non-performing loans and total gross loans should be reported at their gross book value, without deducting for loan-loss provisions or collateral. This indicator provides a key measure of asset quality and potential credit risk in the banking system.

Mean score in the OECD PISA test of reading literacy. Tested: 15-year-old students (aged 15y3m-16y2m, grade 7 or above), a sample in each country; every three years, the 2021 cycle postponed to 2022 because of COVID. PISA scale: in the cycle when the domain was first the major one (2000) the OECD mean = 500, standard deviation = 100; the series is comparable from 2000. A 10-15 point change between cycles is often within the error (standard errors and significance are in the education_pisa dataset). In 2015 the test moved from paper to computer and to a new scaling model: the link to earlier cycles holds, with a link error of a few points. In 2022 several countries (United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Netherlands, Ireland, Denmark, Australia, New Zealand and others) missed sampling standards — compare with caution. Values come from the trend tables of the latest OECD report listing the country (PISA 2022, else 2018, 2015, 2012, 2009 Vol. V). China took part only as provinces (B-S-J-G/Z, Shanghai), not shown here; Russia took part 2000-2018, not in 2022; Argentina, Kazakhstan and Malaysia 2015 are not comparable and not shown, nor is Viet Nam reading 2022.

Average score of students in their fourth year of school (usually grade 4, about 10 years old) in the international TIMSS mathematics test. The TIMSS scale was set in 1995: 500 is the mean of that cycle's countries and 100 points is one standard deviation; the test is repeated every 4 years, and a country's scores from different cycles are comparable when IEA includes them in its trend table. Year is the test year. In 2019 about half the countries tested on computer (eTIMSS), linked to paper through a bridge sample; in 2023 almost all did. Some countries test the next grade up (Norway, South Africa, Turkey) to keep the average age above the IEA minimum. Values IEA flags as not reliably measured (more than 25% of students too low to estimate) are left out. Russia took part until 2019 and is not in TIMSS 2023.
