This note aims to contribute to the
debate, paying attention not only to changes in the Bolsa
Familia program itself, but also by simulating the impact
that general spending and tax reforms will have on the
well-being of Brazilian families, whether they are poor or
not. This last point is particularly relevant in the current
fiscal context in which the country is inserted. There is an
expenditure ceiling on public accounts that requires cuts in
other budget lines in order to implement any expansion in
the program. Finally, the note intends to contribute to the
debate by elaborating alternatives to the design of the
program so that it better meets its function as a social
safety net. |
