More than half (53 percent) come from households whose income per capita does not exceed half the minimum wage, a value of 477 reais (~$123 USD). While Brazil is in the top ten economies in the world, there are still millions of people in the northeast of the country who are in extreme poverty. REUTERS/Nacho Doce - RC15CA4A30B0
