Anyone who opposes the federal government’s minimum income programs, like the old Bolsa Família — now called Auxílio Brasil and soon to be rebranded under its old name — points to the risk of indolence. And even more: he alleges the disastrous effect for the recruitment of labor in the hinterland. Of course, there are controversies. But the concept of grouping different advantages of the FHC era, such as Bolsa-Escola, Vale Gás and others, under one, in the Lula era, was and is fundamental to mitigate the impacts of economic imbalances in regions like the northeast. . The previous years had been marked by invasions of cities by “drought victims”, as the headlines put it.

The root of Bolsa Família is the emergency income transfer. However, there is a certain consensus: it does not change the lives of the poor. Researchers like Marcelo Neri, from the Social Policy Center of the Brazilian Institute of Economics (Ibre), from the Getúlio Vargas Foundation (FGV), in Rio de Janeiro, have already written on the subject until nausea. The so-called “output ports” are missing. Corridors likely to lead to employment, professional qualification or education policies.

Neri has already warned that now is the time to invest in the quality, not the quantity of transfers. One of the actions would be to improve the quality of school incentives for children and adolescents. In the next step, create not an incentive for the first job, but a second Bolsa Família, improving low levels of education.

The Federal Court of Auditors (TCU) maintains that Bolsa Família is the most effective social program in the fight against poverty in Brazil. The conclusion can be found in the 2021 report on the monitoring of government policies and programs (RePP), delivered on Wednesday (16) by Minister Bruno Dantas, of the TCU, to the elected Vice-President, Geraldo Alckmin. He delivered as well as three other documents that will serve as a subsidy for the work of the Government Transition Office.

The 2021 RePP consolidated cross-cutting assessments of six social protection benefits: Bolsa Família Program (PBF); Continuing provision benefit (BPC); Unemployment insurance (including defense insurance); Salary allowance; Rural pension; Family salary and deduction of a dependent from personal income tax (IRPF).

And what to do with what already exists? Banco do Nordeste (BNB) has been operating since the mercurial era of Byron Queiroz, Crediamigo, an assisted microcredit model admired throughout the country. He will later create Agroamigo, in the same way. Cheap money so people can invest in something productive in the primary and secondary sectors. A door.

The doors would be there

Thus, the Column asked on Friday, on O POVO CBN radio, the president of Banco do Nordeste (BNB), José Gomes da Costa, how these ports could be connected to Bolsa Família. Gomes says to be careful when leaving. “There shouldn’t be any pressure, any embarrassment. It should be gradual, so that the family only comes out of this aid program when they are really able to meet their needs with what the credit brings him”. Question: Do you have anything concretely drawn? Gomes: “The Bank is a government bank. Those who should set these policies are the ministries to which the Bank reports – Regional Development, Sudene (Northeast Development Superintendency), Ministry of Economy.” According to him, the Bank’s effort is to support families who commit.

No one said anything during the campaign

This is a good subject for the new government to express itself. The issue remained unscathed throughout the campaign. And before long, controversies over the command of the Bank begin to emerge. It was more about ideas.

INCENTIVE II

The condition is to be applied to the hotel itself

The condition is to apply what should not be paid to the Public Treasury in requalification of the property, qualification and training. Hotel owners cannot take the money and pay daily rates at other hotels on vacation. In addition, the town hall will be responsible for strict supervision. The training section is very vague and opens up space for lectures by coaches and the like, not to mention the risk of an amount released in a note above what has been paid. One or the other can still taint an entire category.
