Abstract

Title in Portuguese: Diferencial educacional entre beneficiários e não beneficiários do Programa Bolsa Família Abstract: Programa Bolsa Família (PBF) was created in 2003 to reduce inequality and extreme poverty. It was conceived as a conditioned income transfer system: in exchange for a monthly amount, families comply with a series of conditions, including keeping their children attending school regularly. The objective of this work is to observe possible consequences of this conditions for school achievement, specifically for the age-grade distortion of students whose families declared they were beneficiaries of the program, in the 2010 Census. The results show that there are important positive differences among the children benefited by PBF in comparison to those that were not, especially among those aged 8 to 11 years. Resumo: O Programa Bolsa Família (PBF) foi criado em 2003 com o intuito de reduzir a desigualdade e a extrema pobreza. Para tal, foi concebido como um sistema de transferência condicionada de renda: em troca de um valor mensal, a família se compromete a cumprir uma série de condicionalidades, entre elas, manter a criança frequentando regularmente a escola. O objetivo deste trabalho é observar possíveis consequências dessa condicionalidade para o resultado escolar, especificamente para a distorção idade-série dos alunos cujas famílias se autodeclararam beneficiárias do programa no Censo de 2010. Os resultados apontam que há diferenças positivas importantes entre crianças beneficiadas pelo PBF quando comparadas às não beneficiadas, especialmente dentre aquelas de 8 a 11 anos.
