Abstract

The Bolsa Família Program is a Brazilian cash transfer , created in 2003 , which proposes , in one of his axes to fight poverty , the joint benefit with the development of additional programs , with a view to enhance and / or develop new skills of beneficiary families , providing income generation in order to promote their financial independence and consequentely the output of the program . This study aims to perform an analysis of the operation of the Bolsa Família Program Complementary , focusing on income generation , the Reference Centres for Social Assistance ( CRAS ) Aracaju - SE . In this sense , we tried to identify complementary programs for income generation CRAS developed in this city ; verify the role of CRAS in complementary programs for income generation ; identify to what extent these programs take into account the demands and potential beneficiary families ; and assess how they have contributed to the promotion of financial independence and possible decoupling of Bolsa Família beneficiaries . The research was exploratory , qualitative approach was guided by the historical - dialectical materialist method. The study population included all CRAS capital of Sergipe , totaling 15 , of which 5 comprised the study sample whose selection criterion was based on the premise of being located in the largest coverage areas in the municipality . Data collection was conducted through semi-structured interviews with two coordinators of SEMFAS and five of CRAS , after the signing of a |Statement of Consent|. As a result of the study was identified that although there are other complementary programs in development , only one of them can be considered Income Generation , the National Program for Access to Technical Education and Employment (PRONATEC/ BSM). The survey results indicated that its operation has many weaknesses, which fits list the main ones: BFP beneficiaries have priority access ; the reality and the potential of these are not taken into account in planning actions ; the role of CRAS is limited to the dissemination , mobilization and registration of the audience in the program ; and operationalization , in general, is far from the reach of impressive results , especially in promoting financial independence and decoupling of BFP beneficiaries , from access to income . This finding reinforces the residual character of Income Transfer Programs in Brazil , as well as its model of social protection , driven mainly by neoliberal ideas , which have led the state to implement compensatory , focused and limited range of policies, expense of capital accumulation.
