Programa Bolsa Família e a trajetória de vida dos beneficiários: inclusão social e autonomia são possíveis?

Abstract

The BolsaFamília Program is currently the main strategy used to coping to poverty through monetary income. After program execution nationwide, conducted research has demonstrated the growth of consumption access and to basic social rights such as health, education, feeding and social assistance. The discussion on poverty, expressed in many types of vulnerabilities and dependency on state policies, for much of the population, it is still a challenge for scholars and planners. This dissertational work aims to understand, through literature and involved themselves - the beneficiaries - whether that program provided or propitiates, in fact, social inclusion and autonomy. The first expression, Social Inclusion, made up of Sposati (1996) which links the social minimum established a basic pattern that includes both dignity and citizenship ideas. Regarding autonomy, evidence of the study Pinzani and Rego (2013), who argue that it is the perception of themselves as subjects able to make free choices. It is, therefore, a field research that has privileged qualitative aspects, in which, considered to define the subjects, they should have the minimum time of five years as the beneficiary. It was found that the guaranteed rights and the services available in the Social Assistance Policy are still little known to its users, becoming a challenge to be analyzed by professionals and researchers. Therefore, that social inclusion is expressed through the guarantee of monthly deposit that opens up access to the consumption while the autonomy is characterized by the possibility of acquiring goods aimed for survival, especially access to food and clothing aspects up then absent in the trajectory of these social subjects.
