Uma análise sobre o orçamento destinado à política de desporto para juventude da Paraíba

Abstract

Secretariat for Youth, Sports and Leisure (SEJEL) of the Paraíba government focused on sports activities for youth based on a cohort study from 2011 to 2022. The policies sports have been shown to be efficient in combating the idleness of time in young people's lives, generating social and bodily structure benefits, but IBGE and IPEA data show that many young people from Paraíba are in a situation of social vulnerability. Thus, following the principles addressed in the Youth Statute in relation to social and sports rights, this research was characterized by a bibliographical and documental analysis of authors who discuss the principles of public policies and their cycles, the right to school and youth sports , and, the relationship between the budget and government planning. Following this bibliographical base, data related to SEJEL's budgetary expenditures aimed at youth sports in government mandates between 2011 and 2022 were searched in official documents. The results showed that SEJEL, in addition to obtaining little resources compared to the other secretariats, half or most of these, are destined to support activities, thus having difficulty in paying attention to the right to sport for youth. It was also identified a deregulation in the investments of the actions throughout the analyzed period, with values that fluctuate during the years, curbing an evolution of the programs, not even the budgets established in the Plurianual Plans, those studied, managed to carry out all the expenses in all the years old. In terms of sport for Youth, the actions that remained during the period studied were the Bolsa-Atleta, the Support for Youth and the School and Para-School Games, but they had retreats of resources, mainly in the government of João Azevedo, in which the portfolio (SEJEL) in general had resource cuts, compared to the two previous periods of Ricardo Coutinho governments. A positive aspect of the current government was the elaboration of the State Youth Plan, a goal that was achieved, which may be the subject of future analyses. It is concluded that the study, that the sports policy for youth needs better investments in the government budget, as well as new management practices so that this policy is applied interactively in order to reach other problems related to youth, such as education, work and violence.
