However, in Rio there are many social challenges that are a ecting
the poorest people such as a lack of healthcare and high
unemployment rate in favelas. The rate of unemployment will lead
people to have very little money. This is a challenge because many
people will work in the informal economy where there is very poor
working conditions and poor pay therefore leading to possible
exploiting of favela people. On the other hand, there are some
opportunities being provided such as self-help schemes that
provide local residents with concrete and cement so that they can
replace home-made shelters with permanent dwellings. These also
often have water, electricity and sewage systems pre-installed
already.
