Returning to Brazil, we can see some results of inclusive actions. Between 2010-2019 we noticed a 400% increase in the number of Afro-descendant students in Brazilian universities .

For the first time, the self-identified black or mixed-race populati iran phone number list on now represents more than half of higher education students in public universities, reaching a presence of 50.3%. However, this does not translate into the workforce of companies.

According to the IDados Institute, based on data from the National Household Sample Survey of IBGE (Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics), in the first quarter of 2020, 35% of Afro-descendants with higher education worked in positions that do not require a degree.

When we look at management positions, only 4.9% occupy positions on the Boards of Directors of the 500 companies with the highest turnover in Brazil.

In the US, African American, American Indian and Alaska Native workers were twice as likely to be unemployed.
