Abstract:

This study compares the availability of basic sanitation infrastructure in indigenous and non-indigenous household located in urban and rural areas using datathe Brazilian 2000 and 2010 National Censuses. The analyses were based on descriptive statistics and modelling by multiple logistic regression. While there was an increase in the availability of basic sanitation in Brazilian households over the decade, indigenous households persisted with worse conditions in 2010. Sewage was the sanitation service with the lowest coverage in both censuses, and indigenous households presented a lower rate compared to non-indigenous. Logistic regression results confirmed the findings of the descriptive analyses, attesting to the fact that sanitation conditions are worse in indigenous households. In some areas, like in the urban North and Southeast and in rural areas of the Central-West regions, the gap in basic sanitation infrastructure between indigenous and non-indigenous increased2000 to 2010. This study not only points to less adequate sanitation conditions in indigenous households in Brazil, but also attests to the persistence of major inequalities associated with race or color in the country.
