Brazil Monthly Income comparison - super-rich (1% of the population) and the poor (50% of population)

Left frame – Super-rich / Right frame – The poor
The super-riches are 1% of the Brazilian population – represented by the green left circle
The poor are 50% of the Brazilian population – represented by the green right circle
The monthly income of the super-riches are more than 100 times the average monthly income of the poor – represented by the red lines.

Methodology:
1% of the Brazilian population, the super-rich, receive on average R$ 106,300.00 per month. This is equivalent to 28.3% of total gross income in Brazil.
The poorest 50% (71.2 million people) make up 13.9% of all income, less than half of what is received by the top 1%. This equates to an average monthly income of R$ 1,026.00 - one hundred times less than the super-rich.

Brazil / Norway - homicides / nominal GDP per capita

Left frame - Brazil / Right frame - Norway
Each red line represents 1 thousand homicides.
Each white dot represents 1 thousand dollars of nominal GDP per capita per year.

Methodology:
Nominal GDP per capita is the sum (in monetary terms) of all goods and services produced in a given region, over a given period, divided by the number of inhabitants.
Norway's nominal GDP per capita in 2017 (according to the International Monetary Fund) is $ 70,590. The nominal GDP per capita of Brazil is US $ 15,500.
While in Norway there were 27 homicides in 2016, in Brazil we had 61 thousand and 283. If the population of Norway were the same size as Brazil, the number of homicides in Norway would be around 1,770 (57 times smaller than in the Brazil).
