In the week of Black Consciousness, the TV Folha brings a live discussion this Wednesday (23), starting at 6 pm, on racial equality in the labor market.
Ana Estela de Sousa Pinto, editor of Mercado, talks with Mauricio Pestana, CEO of Fórum Brasil Diverso, Mário Theodoro, economist and writer, as well as Luana Génot, founder of Instituto Identidades do Brasil (ID_BR), which won the 2022 Social Entrepreneur Award in the Human Rights category.
In recent years, Brazil has seen an increase in diversity in higher education. The hiring of black interns in Brazil increased by 235%. Trainee programs and exclusive vacancies for non-white people have become more common.
Even so, if the current pace is maintained, it will take Brazil almost 116 years for blacks and browns to have access to the same opportunities as whites, according to the most recent edition of Ifer (Folha de Equilíbrio Racial Index).
The index is a tool whose methodology was developed last year by Insper researchers Sergio Firpo, Michael França —both columnists at Sheet— and Alysson Portella.
It helps to measure the distance between racial inequality in the country and a hypothetical scenario of balance, in which the presence of black people in the ranges with better living conditions would reflect their weight in the population aged 30 or over.
