O programa Bolsa Família no município de Juiz de Fora/MG: as políticas públicas e o direito a uma renda básica de cidadania

Abstract

Poverty and income inequality, as well as all the injustices arising therefrom, constitute a serious problem for nations around the world. But what if all people had a right to a basic income that would meet their vital needs, regardless of their origin, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, socioeconomic status or criminal record, making sure that they would be real citizens? How many abominable injustices and evils such a scenario would not avoid? From the study of the theory of Basic Income, analyzing public policies, its cycles, projects and programs, this study intends to evaluate and reflect on aspects of the "Bolsa Família" program (main income distribution program in Brazil), from the exhibition and analisys of some data of the social impacts of the program in the brazilian city of Juiz de Fora, in the state of Minas Gerais.
