Description
Summary:The number of men and women reported by the 2022 demographic census reveals several useful pieces of information about disparities and dynamics within the country: 1) the proportion of the female population has been steadily increasing in the country in recent decades; 2) the trend is not the same in all regions of the country; 3) In the Northeast, Southeast and South regions, the number of women exceeds that of men, while a higher proportion of men is observed in the North and Central-West regions; 4) this distribution has changed in comparison with previous decades; the male predominance, previously caused by migration to São Paulo, is now increasingly shifting to the Amazon region.
