so that they dont get embarrased in the middle of brazils cities
The reason that there has been a growth in favelas is because more people are looking for better pay jobs or don't have any jobs and are trying to improve their quality of life. They have high hopes for when they come onto the city but then they realise that jobs are very hard to find and that the housing is too expensive for them to afford. As they don't have enough money they have no choice but to build their own home.
Because many people are too poor to live in the better suburbs.
According to the 2010 census, around 11. 25 million people across Brazil live in favelas, or shantytowns. This figure represents around 6 percent of the nation's population.

Favelas started in rio de janerio because poor people didn't find any place to live so they built homes on steep land which no one wanted even the government.
Favelas are shanty towns which were built by the freed-slaves in Brazil. Towards the end of the 19th Century, former slaves left the homes of their masters and began to live on their own. Normally, Favelas can be found in urban areas like in the City of Rio de Janeiro.
