Do the professional teams in Brazil have reserve teams and youth teams?

Quick question to help with my research into Brazilian Football -

Do the professional teams in Brazil have reserve teams playing in a reserve league like in England or do they have reserve teams that play in the lower leagues like in Spain?

Do the professional teams have youth teams in Brazil? How does the system work?

Most of the big teams have youth teams. There is also teams that have only youth divisions.
A few teams have reserve teams playing in the youth division, until the 70's it was very usual to have them playing before the main team matches, it was called Aspirantes. But it basically faded away because it is expensive. It is very usual however the big clubs to have "partnership" with the lower division teams and place their reserves in those teams.

Do you mean the ages classification ?

In brazil there is those who develop well good players and those who use them well, sometimes it is not the same team and I think only SĂŁo Paulo is often in both categories.

Palmeiras have a B team playing in the lower divisions of Campeonato Paulista.
Corinthians have a B team ini the Paulista...or had one. They just got rid of it for some reason.

Inter-RS has a B team that they sent to China and Korea to showcase players for a possible sale.

I heard that Cruzeiro has a good reputation for developing young players.
