Análise das características das famílias beneficiárias do programa bolsa família em Dourados/MS

Abstract

As Brazil is a country with great inequalities, income transfer programs play an important role in poverty reduction. One of the main income transfer programs is Bolsa Família, which aims to guarantee individuals in situations of poverty and extreme poverty access to food, education and health. Due to its scope, Bolsa Família is found in practically all municipalities in the country, including the municipality of Dourados (MS). Thus, this work aims to analyze the characteristics of families and individuals benefiting from the Bolsa Família program in the city of Dourados. For this, microdata from the unidentified database of the Cadastro Único with Bolsa Família marking for the year 2012, 2015 and 2018 will be used. The results found for Dourados (MS) reflect research for the program at the national level. An important aspect of this study is to compare the characteristics of indigenous and non-indigenous individuals, which showed that the situation of indigenous people is even more vulnerable than that of other beneficiaries of the program.
