The Center for Economics and Business Research released its latest figures showing that Brazil had surpassed Britain this year to become the world's sixth-largest economy. Brazilian Finance Minister Guido Mantega says his country will overtake France to become the world's fifth-largest economy before 2015.
But despite the economic advances claimed by Brazil , children from low-income families are still forced to work in Latin America’s biggest country and economy. The Folha de S.Paulo newspaper says that its analysis of preliminary 2010 census figures compiled by Brazil’s government statistics agency shows that more than 1 million children between the ages of 10 and 14 were working last year.
