Overall, Brazil is heading in the right direction. However, there are also many things that can be done in order to make it even better.
As time progresses, people are having less children, as you can see in the population pyramids below. This is most likely because women are becoming more aware of birth control and diseases such as AIDS. However, although this is a good thing, it could also lead to less support for people when they grow old, and since there is a longer life expectancy, people need more support than before. It has also caused Brazil to enter the 5th stage of the Demographic Transition model.
Over time, Brazil could experience things like a smaller work force and a lower life expectancy. A smaller work force would be devastating to the country, since it relies heavily on miners to mine the precious metals.
Also, a minor problem is that there are more elderly females than males. However, in the younger ages it is balanced out, so it is not a major problem.
