Análise de dados amostrais longitudinais da pesquisa de avaliação de impacto do Bolsa Família

Abstract

This course conclusion work aims to assess whether the female ownership of Bolsa Família causes effects on the decision-making power within the household, confirming theories and sociological discussions about this issue. For this to be evaluated, data from the Impact Assessment survey of Bolsa Família was used, which is a longitudinal study, that is, the same sample was observed in two rounds, one carried out in 2005 and the other in 2009, where the situation of expenses, work, health, clothes, education, food is registered, evaluating the holder, their spouse and their children, for the purpose of comparing these notions between beneficiaries or non-beneficiaries of the Bolsa Família Program. Through these data, considering their sampling plan, a method was developed to measure the decision-making power of women within the household, using a decision indicator and adjusting a logistic regression, to verify if there is statistical basis to demonstrate that the Bolsa Família program provided the increase in female bargaining, which revealed through their analysis significant interpretations that say that, generally, women with the benefit have greater decision-making power when compared to groups of women without benefits
