Impactos do programa bolsa família na renda e na oferta de trabalho das famílias pobres: uma abordagem usando o efeito quantílico de tratamento

Abstract

The impact of Bolsa Família Program (BFP) along with the distribution of work income and workday of Brazilian poor families was evaluated using microdata from the 2010 Sample Census of IBGE and the Quantile Treatment Effect estimator proposed by Firpo (2007). Both treatment and control groups were based on families eligible to the Program, but only families that actually received the benefits were included in the treatment group. Families registered as PBF beneficiaries, when compared to non beneficiary families: a) may work more, less or the same, depending on the quantile of the distribution; and, b) receive less for the work done at all quantiles of the distribution.
