Brazil has reduced the poverty and child labor by implementing various social programs. Up to 2001, the extension of the rural social security program gave benefits to almost 6.6 million people in the form of a 5 billion $ per year.

Furthermore the brazil government controlled the inflation rate through a combination of de-indexation of labor contracts and an exchange-rate based stabilization policy, known as the Real Plan in 1994.
