Importância do Programa Bolsa Família para as famílias de baixa renda da Região Nordeste

Abstract

Monografica This research is a literature that presents a literature review about the meanings of poverty and highlights the debate between the recent decline in inequality in Brazil as an effect of conditional cash transfers. With poverty being a complex phenomenon that marks the tragic lives of many people, it is difficult to create a definition broad enough to explain. The issue of socioeconomic inequality and poverty has historically marked the formation of Brazilian society. The problem of inequality in income distribution is a historical component that permeates the very dynamic that exists in any economic system geared to the production of capital. Aiming at analyzing the economic importance of the Family Grant Program for lowincome families in the Northeast, and for being a methodological research literature, we sought grants in a number of authors who contributed to the enrichment of the same, standing out among them : Zimmermann (2006), No (2007), Lemos (2008) and Cassini (2010). From the results presented in the literature review, we conclude that the Bolsa Família is easing problems arising from the misery in which the beneficiary families live, but in the short and medium term, is not creating conditions for them to overcome their poverty . Only in the long term is that structural conditions are being created for this purpose of overcoming poverty, by the beneficiary families, is reached.
