OBJECTIVE To describe the focalization and coverage of Bolsa Família Program among the families of children who are part of the 2004 Pelotas birth cohort (2004 cohort).METHODS The data used derives from the integration of information from the 2004 cohort and the Cadastro Único para Programas Sociais do Governo Federal (CadÚnico – Register for Social Programs of the Federal Government), in the 2004-2010 period. We estimated the program coverage (percentage of eligible people who receive the benefit) and its focus (proportion of eligible people among the beneficiaries). We used two criteria to define eligibility: the per capita household income reported in the cohort follow-ups and belonging to the 20% poorest families according to the National Economic Indicator (IEN), an asset index.RESULTS Between 2004 and 2010, the proportion of families in the cohort that received the benefit increased from 11% to 34%. We observed an increase in all wealth quintiles. In 2010, by income and wealth quintiles (IEN), 62%-72% of the families were beneficiaries among the 20% poorest people, 2%-5% among the 20% richest people, and about 30% of families of the intermediate quintile. According to household income (minus the benefit) 29% of families were eligible in 2004 and 16% in 2010. By the same criteria, the coverage of the program increased from 43% in 2004 to 71% in 2010. In the same period, by the wealth criterion (IEN), coverage increased from 29% to 63%. The focalization of the program decreased from 78% in 2004 to 32% in 2010 according to income, and remained constant (37%) according to the IEN.CONCLUSIONS Among the families of the 2004 cohort, there was a significant increase in the program coverage, from its inception until 2010, when it was near 70%. The focus of the program was below 40% in 2010, indicating that more than half of the beneficiaries did not belong to the target population.

“…Scholars associated with the Workers' Party and other sympathizers wrote many books and reports complimenting the program for being part of a broad spectrum of social policies aimed at the rural poor, such as electrification, expansion of higher education, development of large infrastructure (Redação RBA 2013;Rego and Pinzani 2013b), and expansion of credit to the middle classes and to the poor (Sader and Costa 2013;Singer 2012). Nevertheless, the expansion of credit is overlooked by those who analyze BF and its impacts on income redistribution (Hoffmann 2010;Rocha 2011;Santos et al 2014;Tavares and Pazello 2006). BF, with other policies of income redistribution, expanded access to credit tools and to bank accounts; at the same time, policies of expansion of the financial system provided material conditions to implement the redistribution of income.…”

Gendered redistribution and family debt: The ambiguities of a cash transfer program in Brazil

Latin American conditional cash transfer (CCT) programs are usually regarded as policies of social protection that question the neoliberal agenda. This article suggests instead that the Brazilian CCT Bolsa Família (Family Grant) is ambiguous in the sense that it was consolidated in association with policies of expansion of financial markets in the country under the rubric of social rights and female emancipation. To analyze the ambiguities of the program, we first delve into official federal documents and practices, which expose the connections between financialization and cash transfer. Second, we build on ethnographic data investigating the financial lives of Bolsa Família beneficiaries in the city of São Paulo. Our findings suggest that there are two scales at which Bolsa Família is associated with financialization: on the national level, the state‐led policy of cash transfer provides the conditions for the expansion of the banking system, and vice versa; on the local level, among the beneficiaries, Bolsa Família and access to credit tools trigger lateral dependencies and family conflicts.

“…Between 2001 and 2005, social inequality in Brazil was reduced by around 20.0% in the whole country and by almost 50.0% in the Northeast, where the coverage of such programs is highest. 6 , d Although there are still few results on the impact of CCTP on the health of the recipients, there is evidence that social inequalities have decreased and purchasing power of the households increased, leading to decreasing levels of malnutrition and infant mortality. 13 , 33 Between 2004 and 2009, it was verified that the PBF had contributed to reducing infant mortality in Brazilian municipalities.…”

OBJECTIVETo analyze the influence of conditional cash transfer programs on diet and nutrition outcomes among beneficiary families in Brazil.METHODSA systematic review of literature was carried out with original evaluation studies conducted in Brazil, including all types of clinical trials and observational studies. The search was conducted in PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science and LILACS databases for papers published since 1990. The studies were analyzed according to the program evaluated, participants, study design, location, principal conclusions, confounding factors and methodological limitations. They were classified according to outcomes (nutritional status, dietary intake and food security) and level of evidence for the association with conditional cash transfer programs (adequacy or plausibility).RESULTSWe found 1,412 non-duplicated papers. Fifteen met the eligibility criteria and twelve evaluated the Bolsa Família program. Five plausibility studies and two adequacy analyses indicated a positive influence of conditional cash transfer programs on nutritional status of the beneficiary children. The conditional cash transfer programs influence on dietary intake was analyzed in one population-based adequacy study and three cross-sectionals plausibility researches in different municipalities. All of them indicated that beneficiaries had higher food intake than non-beneficiaries. The three cross-sectional plausibility analyses suggest a positive influence of conditional cash transfer programs on the food security of the beneficiaries. The main methodological limitations found were using cross-sectional analysis and difficulties in data collection, small sample sizes and limitations of the instruments used.CONCLUSIONSThe few studies found indicated a positive association between Brazilian conditional cash transfer programs and improvements in the recipients' diet and nutrition. Greater efforts to widen and qualify evaluations are needed in order to assess more comprehensively the impact of conditional cash transfer programs in Brazil.
