Briefings
A Brazilian article from October 2026 argues that the gap between the minimum and median salary is too narrow to effectively promote social mobility. The author suggests that the median salary is the more critical metric for understanding economic inequality and future opportunities for workers who earned more than the minimum wage.
Key points
