Abstract

This research aims to analyze the effectiveness of the Bolsa Família Program (PBF), from the perspective of the beneficiaries of this cash transfer program. In order to do it, it was developed a qualitative-quantitative research with 50 beneficiaries and the outcome was analyzed using the collective subject discourse (DSC) methodology, developed by Lefèvre and Lefèvre (2003). From the discourse’s analysis, it was verified that the beneficiary perceives as a result of his inclusion in PBF an income increasing and improvements on their family’s life quality. However, there were flaws regarding the perception of some objectives of the program, especially related to sustained emancipation of families.
