Nexus research shows that 73% of Brazilians support the end of the 6×1 scale as long as there is no salary reduction
The research reveals an interesting aspect of the discussion. The vast majority of society is in favor of ending the 6×1 journey. However, when the salary reduction argument comes into play, most people start to disapprove of the project. This is explained by the Brazilian’s income side: most people live financially tight and need that income, which is why they end up denying the project if it takes away part of their monthly income Marcelo Tokarski, CEO of Nexus
Lack of knowledge about the proposal
Although the topic is talked about across the country, few know in depth about it. The research reveals that 62% have heard of it about the 6×1 end of the scale, but only 12% say they understand well the project. Others 35% have never heard talk about the proposal.
The survey also indicates that knowledge generates more support: among those who understand the project well, the approval is 71%. Among those who have never heard of it, support drops to 55%.
According to the survey, opinion on the topic also changes depending on the political side, although it is mostly favorable on both sides:
Lula voters in 2022: 71% are in favor, 15% are against and 15% did not respond;
Bolsonaro voters in 2022: 53% are in favor, 32% are against and 15% did not respond;
