After 13 years, the data are updated to know what Brazil is today, with population numbers, information about where people live and what the country wants for the future, he said this Wednesday (28). ), the Minister of Planning and Budget, Simone Tebet. For her, the 2022 Census was challenging, took longer than necessary and went through a troubled period. Simone Tebet recalled that, upon taking over the Planning and Budget portfolio, she authorized the release of an additional R$ 380 million in additional credit, which allowed the conclusion of the works, including the collection of data from more than 12 million people. For the minister, the credibility of the census will allow civil society, private initiative and public power to plan for the future, based on official data. “This is the X-ray for the Brazil of the present, which is now presented to all Brazilians. This Brazil of the present will now have a nautical chart, a compass so that we can make efficient public policies. So that the private initiative can place investments in the right place to generate jobs and income, and we, the public authorities, can put the federal budget into public policies, so that they reach those who really need it most”, said Simone, in video broadcast at the launch ceremony of the First Results of the 2022 Census, at the Museum of Tomorrow, in the port region of Rio de Janeiro. Homenagens Laís Torres Medeiros was a supervisory census agent in the city of Espera Feliz, in Minas Gerais, and worked as a census taker in three other cities in Minas Gerais. After completing the work in her state, Laís was invited to help with the census, providing support in the movement of agents in the cities of Sorriso and Lucas do Rio Verde, in Mato Grosso. She received a trophy for her work. “It wasn’t just a job. It was a family that I gained in this Brazil, along with the opportunity to get to know so many varieties in Brazil, different cultures and different people. I was immensely honored to have participated a little in this statistic to bring the data and the social reality that Brazil needs to program public policies for the next ten years”, said the census agent. Another honoree was census taker João Barbosa Otero, who collected data in São Gabriel da Cachoeira, in Amazonas, passing through areas of difficult access. “The tribute is not just mine, it belongs to all census takers. I was happy to know that I was going to come here. When we went to take the census, my joy was seeing people with a smile on their faces when they saw a census taker arrive at their home, in their community, in their village. I just wanted to thank everyone.” The Secretary for Monitoring and Evaluation of Public Policies and Economic Affairs of the Ministry of Planning and Budget, Sergio Pinheiro Firpo, who, together with the special advisor to the portfolio, João Vitor Vilaverde de Almeida, represented Minister Simone Tebet at the ceremony, said that the happiness shown by João Otero is a feeling that overflows to the whole country. “I saw it in their faces [pessoas recenseadas] such as the presence of the State, through IBGE [Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística], brought this breath that the State was present. The IBGE is often the gateway between the citizen and the state. Knowing who we are, finally, after so long without the census, is very important for the formulation, design and improvement of public policies”, he said. Almeida thanked all the census takers, supervisors and superintendents, people who went into the field for carrying out the Census, despite the challenges faced during the ten months of research. He proposed that those attending the ceremony look at themselves a little to see how they are today to compare with 2030, when the IBGE should carry out a new census. He pointed out that much of the data collected now did not exist in the previous survey, carried out in 2010. As an example, he cited app cars. “The IBGE is this photo of the moment, which has been with us for almost 100 years, and we see how Brazil, our families and we have been changing.”Almeida said that, at the same time, they are worth a reminder and a celebration. “The reminder is what this census might not have been, it might not have covered all of Yanomami land, but it did. It could be without more than 2 million men and women within it, who live in subnormal clusters, but it has these people across the Favela on the Map.” He emphasized that this census could be with the non-response rate, which is normal in all censuses for a number of reasons, which could be “bizarrely high”, but is not. “It’s high here, very low there. This census takes effort from everyone,” he said. And the minister’s decisions to extend the census and carry out the surveys wherever she went to ensure the inclusion of more people census paid off, he added.
