Fighting for a Seat at the Table: For more than a decade Brazil has opened itself to the global economy.

What’s happening in Brazil graphically poses the question of whether global economic pressures exact too high a cost in societies that are already among the most unequal in the world… The shift to an open economy in Brazil has come against a backdrop of extreme poverty that has left armies of destitute migrants drifting across the country in search of a means to survive. During the 80's, millions of Brazilians moved to the cities, many to the slums on the outskirts of Sao Paulo, where they often found work in factories. Now, with industries laying off workers to compete with new imports, and fulfil the strictures of the IMF, unemployment in the cities is worsening and people are returning to the already impoverished countryside.
