The Brazilian diaspora, driven by economic crises and political instability, has grown significantly since the 1980s-90s (marked by hyperinflation and recession) and intensified post-2014 amid violence and political turmoil.

Over 4.4 million Brazilians now live abroad, with the largest communities in the U.S. (1.9 million, concentrated in Florida, Massachusetts, and New Jersey), Portugal, Japan, the UK, and Canada. Migration is fueled by economic opportunity, cultural ties, and factors like Portugal’s streamlined citizenship process and shared language.

Despite facing discrimination and underemployment—even among skilled workers—Brazilians have enriched their host societies culturally, socially, and economically, building vibrant communities worldwide. The diaspora continues to expand, shaped by Brazil’s domestic challenges and global opportunities.
