Urban vs. Rural Life

Brazil 2 largest cities (Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo) boast some of the largest populations in urban environments around the globe; both cities are in the top 25 largest cities in the world. Brazil's large cities face overpopulation, poverty, and slums (also known as flavelas). Most employees in the urban areas work for banks, hotels, factories, office buildings, or stores.

The rural environment is extremely different; the land in Brazil is vast, so much of the land is unpopulated. Most rural inhabitants work on large plantations or ranches. Poverty is a major issue in the rural areas, as in the urban counterparts. Many workers can barely feed their families and abject impoverishment is rampant.
