- ItemSomente MetadadadosIniquidades no acesso aos benefícios alimentação e refeição no Brasil: uma análise da Pesquisa de Orçamentos Familiares 2008-2009(Cadernos de Saúde Pública, 2016) Canella, Daniela Silva [UNIFESP]; Bortoletto Martins, Ana Paula; Bandoni, Daniel Henrique [UNIFESP]Food stamps and meal vouchers can determine workers' dietary choices. The study aimed to assess the coverage of these benefits in Brazil and their distribution according to the beneficiaries' socio-demographic and regional characteristics, using data from the Brazilian Household Budgets Survey, 2008-2009. Eligibility criteria were having an occupation and a private or government job, including domestic or temporary work in rural areas. Only 3.2% of eligible individuals reported receiving such benefits. Highest coverage rates were verified with the Southeast region, urban areas, male gender, employment in the private sector, and monthly earnings > five times the minimum wage. The mean monthly amount of such benefits was R$ 177.20 (US$ 100 at the 2009 exchange rate). After adjusting for other variables, the highest amounts were associated with male gender, higher salaries, the Northeast and Central regions, and employment in the public sector. This first analysis of the national coverage of food stamps and meal vouchers showed that a large share of Brazilian workers lack access or have unequal access to such benefits.
- ItemSomente MetadadadosA intersetorialidade no Programa Bolsa Família o caso dos Morros de Santos(Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP), 2020-12-08) Neves, Jose Anael [UNIFESP]; Medeiros, Maria Angélica Tavares de [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)Introduction: The Brazilian Cash Transfer Program is the largest Conditional Cash Transfer Program in the world. It allocates monetary resources to Brazilian families in situations of poverty and extreme poverty and provides for intersectoral actions that must be agreed upon by municipal health, education and social assistance administrations. The integration of policies in favor of the Brazilian Cash Transfer Program is hardly known. Objective: To identify and analyze the intersectoral actions agreed upon by the health, education and social assistance sectors within the scope of the Brazilian Cash Transfer Program, in Morros de Santos, São Paulo, Brazil, recognizing their limits and potential, to subsidize interventions to improve this policy public. Methods: This is a cross-sectional research, with a quantitative and qualitative approach, developed in the region of Morros de Santos, SP, Brazil, between the years 2016 and 2017. Pregnant women, mothers and / or guardians of title and non the Brazilian Cash Transfer Program holders (n=380), in a representative sample of the Morros population; local managers and / or professionals from the health, education and social assistance services (n=14); and the central managers of the three sectors responsible for the operationalization of the Program (n=3). Seven similar scripts, adapted to the particularities of each group, were used to conduct the interviews. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Chi Square or Fisher's exact test and multiple correspondence analysis. Content analysis was used for qualitative data. The study was approved by the Ethics Committee from Universidade Federal de São Paulo. Results: It was identified greater access of the Brazilian Cash Transfer Program families to health services, due to the conditionalities of the Program. In general, the inclusion or not in the Brazilian Cash Transfer Program affected 31% of the variability in the pattern of access to services. As for intersectoral actions, access between the Brazilian Cash Transfer Program holders and non-holders is low. It was found that the intersectoral actions were punctual, episodic and discontinuous, therefore, the intersectoriality does not seem to be a structuring principle of the Brazilian Cash Transfer Program actions at the study site. Even so, the interviewees recognized that the network of health, education and social assistance services available has the potential to11 redirect their practices regarding intersectorality. According to the review of the scientific literature, published between 2003 and 2020, there was a relationship with the Brazilian Cash Transfer Program with the reduction of child reduction and the increase of access to Primary Health Care services; expanding access to food, including in natura; increased school attendance and reduced dropout in basic education. Conclusion: The Bolsa Família Program has an important role in reducing inequities; however, the limited operationalization of intersectoriality, among other factors, may restrict the interruption of the cycle of intergenerational transmission of poverty.
