Perfil do público beneficiado pelo programa Auxílio Brasil na pandemia de COVID-19 nos meses de nov/dez de 2021 no município de Santana do Livramento no estado do Rio Grande do Sul

Abstract

The present work seeks to describe the characteristics of the population benefited by the public policy in question in the pandemic period, with the main objective of analyzing the profile of the public benefited by the Auxílio Brasil Program in the Covid-19 pandemic in the months of Nov/Dec 2021 in Santana do Deliverance. The methodological procedure was carried out through documentary, research by consulting the official lists of those approved in the program for the said months provided by the Federal Government from which the families were extracted, as well as the instrument available on the Official Portal of Caixa Econômica Federal Cadastro Único (Cadúnico ) which stores and makes available microdata related to low-income families. As a result, it was found that most of those benefited by the program in the municipality are white women with children, who work on their own or who are totally unemployed depending solely on the income from the aid, having only between the 5th and 6th year from elementary school as the highest level of schooling and who reside in the urban areas of the municipality. Finally, it is possible to affirm the relevance of this public policy within the public sector in search of overcoming social inequality, which is a crucial issue in the Brazilian context and, consequently, the situation of vulnerability of the lowest income class.
