I am a brazilian doctor. Yeah, richer people are very likely to hire staff to manage their homes. It's not a rule, but it's not rare for them to live in the house they work at. This is common enough to show up as a trope in popular telenovelas.
I've yet to uncover a case of literal slavery like TFA though. One could argue the workers aren't getting paid enough and I'd agree, but the workers are getting paid.
- brazukadev 4mo agoIt is very common for the worker to not get paid. A place to sleep and food is not payment, enslaved people also got it.
- matheusmoreira 4mo ago"Very common" ? No. You make it sound like you can find literally enslaved people in random brazilian households.
- brazukadev 4mo agoNot anymore, since the 2002 this changed and it wasn't easy. It was very, very common before that tho. We shouldn't forget so to not repeat.
