On Sunday 26 October, Dilma Rousseff, from the Brazilian Worker’s Party, was re-elected as President by the country’s population, off the back of a political campaign led with real aggression until the very last minute. Having earned 51.64% of votes — 54 million in real terms — in the second round of voting, Rousseff will preside over a divided country, which has just seen itself fall into recession and is experiencing rising inflation. The President, who until now has managed to keep unemployment at an all-time low of 5%, is committed, in her second term, to improving competitiveness and productivity, with an emphasis on providing training.
With this new backdrop, the President’s political party, the Workers’ Party (PT), has made a commitment to maintaining jobs and creating new ones. To achieve this objective, Rousseff will put her efforts into improving competitiveness and productivity.
