Why Brazil?
Despite being Latin America’s largest economy, 12% of the workforce in Brazil is unemployed. 13 million people work less than they could, or would like to but haven’t looked for a job or were not able to start. 18-24 year olds account for 25% of the unemployment rate, and most top skills demanded by employers in Brazil all relate to digital technologies with statistical analysis and data mining, web architecture and development framework, and mobile development topping the list of requirements.
