Abstract

The changes that have been taking place in the country in recent years reveal the accelerated impoverishment of large portions of the population. These transformations, which raise unemployment rates. Consequently, living conditions in these societies have become very difficult. On the other hand, the state, which is also the subject of reforms, suffers the reduction of its performance, especially in the social area and, by remaining committed to financial capital, further aggravates the contemporary scenario. While multinational corporations and financial capital show an increase in their growth rates, there is a decrease in human development indices, especially in relation to the reduction of inequalities, which in Brazil reveals the impoverishment of large plots of its people. However, there are many discussions and debates about the content and effectiveness of income transfer programs, in particular the Bolsa Família, poverty reduction and the promotion of citizenship. The present work aims to describe about the Bolsa Família program, dealing with its trajectory from its creation and analyzing to what extent the program has contributed to society. The methodology used was the bibliographical research and an interview. The results of this research indicate that income transfer programs produce positive results in the area of development, especially in reducing extreme poverty and hunger.
