A política de transferência de renda do governo federal: Bolsa Família como estratégia de proteção social

Abstract

This work seeks to understand the Federal Income Transfer Program, called Bolsa Família, as a measure of social protection and coping with the situation of poverty of families, based on the reality of the country. The research started from the analysis and apprehension of studies carried out, with the objective of understanding the historical context, understanding its importance and the transformations suffered throughout the governments, from its implementation to the current transfer model. The research identified that social protection, after the combination of different social programs, until the implementation of the Bolsa Família Program, created by the Lula government and expanded during the Dilma government, had a direct action in favor of families in poverty. The consolidation of Bolsa Família led to a reduction in poverty and significantly improved social indicators, although it did not change the logic of (re) producing poverty and inequality in the country
