As diretrizes do Programa Bolsa-Família: uma análise crítica

Abstract

This work analyze the guidelines of one of the most emblematic contemporary social programs: the Bolsa-Família (Family Grant); which has emerged in the country in a context of intense societal transformations and significant changes in social protection for particular segments of population in social high risk and vulnerability. In view of this situation, can be noticed the Family Grant Program little bring innovation in relation to previous programs. It is a compensatory policy, articulated with the liberal reforms, and is intended to compensate in part, and in a very limited way, the socio-economic damage caused by the current mode of capitalist production. The analysis seeks to expose the conception that guides the complementary income programs and its inherent limitations.
