Do Direito à Renda Básica de Cidadania no Brasil

Abstract

The aim of the present work is to present the concept of the Citizen's Basic Income, as well as its legal treatment, given by law 10.835/2004. It is defended the idea that a public policy of citizen's income can be used as a tool to reduce poverty, in order to achieve the fundamental objective of the Federative Republic of Brazil to eradicate poverty and reduce regional inequalities. The research is descriptive, with bibliographical and documentary analysis. From empirical studies, it is tried to demonstrate the feasibility of social policies of direct cash transfer, experienced in the country, either in terms of social impact or in function of the relative low cost of these programs, in order to show possible reflections of social effectiveness of the right to Citizen's Basic Income. The results indicate that direct cash transfer programs have contributed significantly to reduce inequalities rates in the country.
