“ In recent years Brazil has shown an increase of 47% of its IDHM, ie its human development index by municipality. People like me, who travel to different cities in Brazil on a weekly basis, know that this result is real. Especially in relation to municipalities in the Northeast, but there were also improvements in other areas. These results are great to think about, but, even better, is that basic education in these municipalities, grew 128% and was the leading indicator that pulled the IDHM up. There is still much to be done, especially because we were in a situation of social, human and educational poverty, so we are still far from where we can be, but progress is undeniable."

"It is a very interesting change that hit hard in the North and Northeast. The return to investment was also important, both private investment and public investment, and the spread and internalization of investments in secondary and higher education, is another Brazilian change that is having many positive effects mainly in the North, Northeast and also in the Center West. The Northeast and the North lead the growth rates of formal employment this decade, that is, they were energized the economy and generated formal employment. And the two poorest regions in Brazil led the growth in formal employment. And they lead in consumption also because these various changes have energized consumption. And they lead in the reduction of extreme poverty."
