Programas de transferência condicionada de renda no Brasil: caso Bolsa Família e suas implicações na pobreza extrema

Abstract

The primary target of this work is to study the implications of the Family Bolsa Program (PBF) in relation to the extreme poverty in Brazil. The BFP was created by the federal government in 2003, in order to combat and eradicate poverty, in which millions of Brazilians live. In order to achieve the proposed objectives mainly were used; the database of the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), the National Research of Household Samples (PNAD) 2010, studies and publications of the Institute of Applied Economic Research (IPEA). Initially is presented an outline of the BFP then a brief analysis is made of the implications of GMP on income inequality and poverty, ending with the effects of extreme poverty. A large amount of literature points to a reduction in income inequality with the PBF being a major determinant of this decline due to the focus of the program. Since poverty results are more modest, only 8% of the decline in poverty from 2003 to 2009 is attributed to GMP. The main causes of poverty reduction are a combination of economic growth with distribution by way of inclusion in the labor market and minimum wage increases. In extreme poverty it is found that the PBF has a positive impact in eradicating extreme poverty, however, eradication has not happened due to the fact that the low amounts transferred are unable to provide that the families can cross the line of extreme poverty and exclusion errors
