From the Paper:

"Most of the Brazilian citizens live in areas along the coastline, compared to the interior region of the country. This has resulted in the "inhabitants becoming very diverse with many races and cultures represented (http://www.nationmaster.com/encyclopedia/Demographics-of-Brazil)." According to statistics from the United Nations, 10% of the population was undernourished from 1996-1998 (www.un.org). In 2003, the population of the country was more than 177 million. The "population growth rate was 1.46% from 1990-2000, compared to the estimated 0.94% in 2000 (http://www.nationmaster.com/encyclopedia/Demographics-of-Brazil)." By 2004, according to the CIA factbook, the population had grown to 184,101,109 and had a growth rate of 1.11% (www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/br.html)."
