The minimum retirement age is 55 for women and 60 for men in civil service. In the private sector, men have to have contributed for 35 years to the retirement scheme and women for 30 years. If the number of years of contributions is lower than these figures but over 15 years, it is also possible for men to retire at 65 and women at 60. If these conditions are not met, there is a minimum retirement pension accessible to everyone over 65. As well as many other places  employees in Brazil are entitled to be absent from work on public holidays.

The effect this has on the peoples heath would be that they feel as though their entire culture is being destroyed and for some of the older members of society memories could have been destroyed. Local sources of fresh food have also been crushed affecting the physical health of local people. ]]> 2018-06-29 02:27:33 UTC https://padlet.com/isabella_geddes1/fcbgvmxoq1nx/wish/268928887 isabella_geddes1 https://padlet.com/isabella_geddes1/fcbgvmxoq1nx/wish/268930151 Crime in Brazil has had an increase in both violent and non-violent crimes. Brazil has high rates of violent crimes such as murders and robberies. The actual homicide rate was decreasing but has started to rise again from 2006 onward. In 2010 it was 25 homicides per 100.000 people. Another major source of crime in Brazil is the Favelas. From 1950 to 1980 the number of people living in favelas in Rio de Janeiro alone increased from about 170,000 to more than 600,000, and by the early 21st century it was estimated that there were as many as 1,000 favelas there, about 6% of Brazil's population lives in the Favelas. The effect this has on the people of Brazil would be terrifying, they are constantly living in fear. Whether you are living in the more developed parts of Brazil, fearing the people from the favelas, or you live in the favelas, fearing the police that shoot first and ask questions later. This would take a huge toll on not only the physical health of the citizens but also the social health, constantly looking over your shoulder being told not to trust your neighbours. ]]> 2018-06-29 02:43:00 UTC https://padlet.com/isabella_geddes1/fcbgvmxoq1nx/wish/268930151 irene_seo https://padlet.com/isabella_geddes1/fcbgvmxoq1nx/wish/269102101 The Brazilian healthcare system is made up of a large, government managed system, the Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS), which provide coverage to the majority of its residents, and the private sector, run by private health insurance companies.  The government recognizes that the overall health situation of its population can be determined by a host of factors, which include education, physic, income, employment, sanitation services, access to land and health services, quality of health services as well as the social and family conditions.
