Resumo

The variable age presented different result from what was expected, showing that the age of the population did not have an inverse relation with passive public transparency. The descriptive results revealed the low level of passive public transparency in Brazilian municipalities, which obtained a mean of only 1.93 (on a scale between 0 and 10).
