What are the problems in Brazil?
Although Brazil has advanced in the social area in recent years, there are still many problems that affect the lives of Brazilians. Below we list a list of the main problems in Brazil nowadays.
Unemployment
Although job creation has increased in recent years thanks to economic growth, there are still millions of unemployed Brazilians. The economy has grown, but not enough to generate the jobs needed in Brazil. The lack of a good educational background and professional qualification and hinder quality of life of the unemployed. Many have opted for informal employment (without portfolio recorded), a factor that is not positive, because these workers are left without the guarantee of labor rights.
Violence and Crime
Violence is growing every day, particularly in large cities. The crimes are increasingly present in daily life. In the newspapers, radios and televisions are witnessing scenes of robberies, assaults and crimes. The lack of a greater rigor in compliance with laws, coupled with social injustice may in part explain the worsening of these problems in our country.
Pollution
This environmental problem has directly affected the health of people in our country. The rivers are polluted by domestic and industrial waste, bringing disease and affecting ecosystems.
The air, especially in large cities, you is getting tons of greenhouse gases, byproducts of burning fossil fuels (oil products - mainly gasoline and diesel). This type of pollution directly affects human health, causing respiratory illnesses. The elderly and children are the main victims.
Health
Nowadays, people who have a better financial condition are looking for health plans and private system, since public health is a state of acute crisis. Overcrowded hospitals, drug shortages, strikes by employees, broken appliances, queues for care, poorly maintained buildings are the main problems encountered in hospitals and clinics in public schools. The population most affected is one that depends on this medical care, or poorer people.
Education
Data on the performance of students, mostly from public schools, are alarming. Public education encounters various problems and difficulties: poorly maintained buildings, lack of teachers, few learning resources, low wages, strikes, violence in schools, among others. This framework is the result of low public investment in this sector. The result is the poor training of Brazilian students.
Social inequality
Brazil is a country of great social contrast. Income distribution is uneven, with a small portion of society is rich, while most of the population lives in poverty and misery. Although income distribution has improved in recent years, depending on social programs, we still live in a country very unfair.
Housing
The housing deficit is big in Brazil. There are millions of families who can not afford adequate housing. In big and medium cities is very common the presence of slums and tenements. We also found people living on the streets, under viaducts and bridges. In these places, people have an unhealthy condition of life, through many difficulties.

What is the average teperature for Brazil in January?
Well, i can only answer for a set amount of days. On the 19th of June it is 28 degrees celsius and the same for the day after.
Most of Brazil lays in the tropical zone, so it´s easy to find temperatures from 20°C to nearly 40ºC (68F to 104F) in a big part of the country; in places near the rainforest, temperatures are just as high and the wheather it´s very moist. In the center of the country (like in the Capital Brasilia), they have a dry wheather.
In the south (especially the state of Rio Grande do Sul, in the border with Argentina and Uruguay), they have all 4 seasons very well defined - in the winter, you can find temperatures from -5ºC to 15ºC (23F to 59F) and, in the summer, from 17º to 35ºC (60F to 97F). Snow is only frequent in a couple of high places (such as Gramado, Canela and São José dos Ausentes, all in hilltops.)
Basically, the more to the north, the warmer it gets. From Rio to the north, in the coast, you can enjoy every day of the year in the beach.

Even before Fernando Henrique Cardoso become president he created a new currency: "The Real", and forced a parity with the dollar....
1 dollar = 1 real
This stimulated business man and the population, in few months the internal consumption was growing... But they had fear of the inflation.

And to cut costs he privatised some SOEs
