Cohort of 100 million Brazilians
The baseline sweep of the 100 Million Brazilian Cohort comprises individuals registered in The National Unified Register for Social Programmes (Cadastro Único para Programas Sociais or Cadastro Único) for the first time. Cadastro Único identifies low-income families who have applied for social assistance in Brazil and includes individuals who have applied to receive any social benefit since 2001. The baseline dataset includes 131,697,800 individuals, about 62% of the Brazilian population, who entered at different periods from 2001 to 2018. 55.8% of the cohort identified themselves as Brown, 30.7% as White, 6.6% as Black, 0.6% as Indigenous, and 0.4% as Asian.
