The Brazilian diaspora is the migration of Brazilians to other countries, a mostly recent phenomenon that has been driven mainly by economic recession and hyperinflation that afflicted Brazil in the 1980s and early 1990s, and since 2014, by the political and economic crisis that culminated in the impeachment of Dilma Rousseff in 2016 and the election of Jair Bolsonaro in 2018, as well as the re-election of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva in 2022, in addition to chronic violence in Brazilian urban centers.
There are an estimated 4,4 million Brazilians living abroad,: 4 mainly in the U.S. (1,905,000), Paraguay (245,850), Portugal (275,000), United Kingdom (220,000), Japan (212,325), Spain (165,000), Italy (162,000), Germany (138,955) and Canada (122,400).
