Transferências de recursos federais destinados a ações da assistência social no estado da Paraíba: um comparativo do volume desses recursos em relação à receita orçamentária devidamente arrecadada

Abstract

The objective of this research is to analyze how transfers from the federal government may influence the execution of the budget for social assistance in the state of Paraíba. In the course of the work, concepts of public policy and its variations, types of government transfers, as well as the execution of these transfers were presented. Through a bibliographical survey the main concepts in question were listed and through consultations with the state transparency portal it was possible to obtain information capable of responding to the problem. It can be seen that in the period from 2015 to 2018 transfers of federal resources in the area of social assistance were higher than the expenditures from own resources in each year. This reinforces the importance of these transfers to the execution of this type of actions at the state level.
