Acesso à Renda e Inflação de Preços de Alimentos no Brasil: análise dos efeitos do programa Bolsa Família

Abstract

Nesse trabalho são analisados os efeitos do programa Bolsa Família sobre a segurança alimentar no Brasil, considerando-se a inflação de alimentos a partir do final dos anos 2000. A avaliação do impacto desse programa foi realizada a partir da identificação do padrão de consumo de alimentos das famílias potencialmente beneficiadas por ele (utilizando os dados da POF), a fim de verificar seu potencial de compra, diante do processo inflacionário citado. Os dados apresentados sinalizam uma ação eficaz de política de combate à fome a partir do Governo Lula, mas insuficiente para resolver o problema da privação alimentar, em um sentido estrutural e permanente: mesmo se todas as famílias pobres e extremamente pobres recebessem o benefício do programa Bolsa Família, ainda assim, não haveria garantia de condição de segurança alimentar.

Monitoramento e projeções das metas de fatores de risco e proteção para o enfrentamento das doenças crônicas não transmissíveis nas capitais brasileiras

“…These economic factors would also explain the decreased consumption between 2015 and 2019 because of higher food prices, lower income, and higher unemployment due to the country's economic crisis 42 . Brazilians' income and food prices directly affect food ac-cessibility and are determinants for healthy food consumption 44 .…”

“…Also, market regulation strategies that facilitate the production and distribution of fruits and vegetables, such as the Food Acquisition Program and the introduction of free markets, could solve issues such as the disparity in physical and financial access to these foods 42,43 . There is also the need to establish a set of policies that aggregate all the contents that determine food insecurity in Brazil and macroeconomic policies coherent with job and income generation and are synergistic to social policies to move towards overcoming poverty 44 .…”

“…It showed difficulties in expanding the number of centers across the country and maintaining the program's activities and sustainability in the service networks of municipalities 49 . Economic crises can be associated with lifestyle changes, leading to reduced physical activity 44 . On the other hand, studies indicate that the mean working time can decrease during economic crises, increasing the time available for health promotion activities, including exercise and physical activity 51,52 .…”

Hunger and Its Associated Factors in an Urban Cluster in the Western Brazilian Amazon: A Population-Based Study

“…Although the trajectory of this program is related to a reduction in social inequalities in Brazil, structural disparities persist in the territories (regions, states, and municipalities). Income transfer alone is insufficient to interrupt poverty; in the sphere of public policies, it is also necessary to qualify services related to cross-compliance and expand intersectoral interventions targeting vulnerable populations [23,25,26].…”

Low levels of schooling, which was also associated with MSFI in the present study, makes it di cult to enter the formal job market, implying an increase in informal ("under-the-table") work and low pay, constituting a marker of inequity that favours the perpetuation of FI [19].…”
