| Summary: | This note summarizes the findings of the
analysis carried out regarding the poverty and inequality
impacts of the ongoing economic crisis in Brazil in 2016 and
2017. The first objective is to get an estimate of the
extent to which the deteriorating macroeconomic conditions
and shrinking labor markets in Brazil will impact on poverty
and inequality. The second objective is to generate a
detailed profile of the new poor associated with the crisis.
The third and final objective is to get estimates of the
additional budget needed for the Bolsa Familia Program to
effectively mitigate the poverty impacts of the crisis and
protect the past achievements of Brazil in poverty and
inequality reduction until the necessary structural reforms
take place in Brazil and the engines of growth are reignited. |
