High prices also worries richer, than the job
Rio - The difference by income shows how social classes face a financial crisis. The Office informed the salary ranges divided into four groups: up to 3 minimum wages (U.S. $ 1,395), 3 to 5 min (from $ 1395 to $ 2,325), 5 to 10 minimum (R $ 2325 R $ 4650 ) and above 10 minimum. The first group is the most feared losing their jobs (33.93%), while the fear that is the lowest rate is among the more affluent Cariocas (23.57%). "This demonstrates the strength of the labor market," said the economist and professor at PUC-Rio Luiz Roberto Cunha.
The Economist also points out that the question on types of business that want to shop more, among the poorest, the answer is the supermarket to 60.93%, while the richest 51% closed. "The weight of the supermarket for this group of lower income is very big in the budget. The group that makes up to 3 minimum wages and will cut spending on meals away from home reached 70.74% against 55.34% of those earning more than 10 minimum. But the high rate of people who work and want to reduce this type of expenditure shows that the warm is back ", he says.
The pharmacy clerk José Carlos dos Santos de Souza, has 30 years, lives in Town and win up to 3 minimum wages. Has commissioned salary and saw his income fall with the crisis. The price of products and jobs are their biggest fears. José Carlos wanted to change cars, but the crisis has postponed its plans, despite the government's move to cut the price of tax (IPI). "I'll leave it to the end of the year. Fortunately, the pharmacy where I work there were no layoffs. I realized that people do not stop buying drugs, but the items of perfume and vitamin supplements are selling less. I trust the government's measures and I think the crisis is in the middle. Therefore, do not want to borrow, "he explains.
The seller of the store Green World, the Botanical Garden, Flávio Lima Kirk, 35, earns between 3 and 5 min. He says he worries about the bills at the supermarket. Do you think the crisis is the beginning and says that the most noticed was the high prices. "Some items have risen sharply, like milk, for example."
"The Rio is willing to change the way people consume"
Three Nobel laureates in economics, Edward Prescott, Joseph Stiglitz and Robert Mundell, present a seminar on the crisis in Sao Paulo, said that the end of the fall of the global economy is near, but its effects will be felt for a long time. The expectation of householders Rio is in the same direction.
This expectation is shaped by the fears of the respondents. With variations punctuated by the characteristics of public respondent. The men fear more job loss than women, while women fear more debts than men. The younger age and better care more about the prices of products. The intermediate age groups with the loss of employment. The poorest fear more debts than richer ones, and these make the situation of financial investments.
Fears motivated behavior before the crisis, which is the result of our investigation. The Rio is willing to change the way people consume, regardless of their income, but more frequently among the poorest. Everyone wants to consume less clothing, appliances, meals away from home, and foraging for cheaper brands. The poorest admit the possibility of reducing the list of food consumed. And to add debt is also disposed at the financial planning of all social classes.
There is drama of the crisis. In a way, attention was divided by the fear of influenza A. In addition, the president preaches optimism, but the perception of Rio, the small wave takes shape and more robust. For about 80% of the crisis is at the beginning or middle, or for that quota, lack a good time to end the crisis. However, for most respondents the federal government is acting with authority to stop the effects of the crisis, although for women this perception is reversed. It is this climate that the government tries to calm fears and lead the collective behaviors, such as changing the criteria for investments in savings, which aims to maintain small investors and discourage the migration of medium and large investment funds to savings.
The economic commentators suggest caution for the entire population. And this study shows that this advice is being heard by the consumer of the city of Rio de Janeiro. But because transparency is the best weapon against the mistrust, the government should become more didactic in their explanations of the measures and actions to address the crisis, without the use of unfriendly words from the "économiques". There is still a considerable number of consumers who believe the government is not acting as it should, partly because of misunderstanding and ignorance. The fact that the Nobel laureates economists are quick to say that Brazil will come out stronger from the crisis. As well, according to almost all analysts, the government is on track. This set of information could not be passed clearly to the public. Great. Nothing would be more dangerous than having mismanaged the public, as if led by those who "do not sandpaper.
