SUMMARY:

Income inequality is an old social problem in Brazil and in the world, since ancient times
philosophers and economists have thought of solutions to this problem. In Brazil millions of
Brazilians are affected every year because of this disparity, in view of this, several projects
were designed to alleviate this social problem. Conditional cash transfer programs have been
implemented since the 1990s in Brazil with the aim of bringing social well-being to the
underprivileged. In the 2000s, the unification of these programs was suggested, resulting in
2003 in the Bolsa Família Program, which was considered one of the best conditional cash
transfer programs in the world, according to experts. The program ended in October 2021 and
was replaced by Auxílio Brasil. The Bolsa Família, in its 18 years of duration, imposed
conditionalities on the beneficiaries in the field of health and education to receive the income
transfer. This work aims to analyze how the conditionalities of the Bolsa Família program in
the area of education influenced the performance of students benefiting from the Program in
the final years of elementary school, specifically the performance of students registered in
CadÚnico in the state of Pernambuco will be analyzed. Among the results, the importance of
the Bolsa Família Program and the conditionality of education for the poorest stratum of the
population was found, this result was seen after the analysis of the regressions in which the
numbers show that being a beneficiary of the program increases the average of students, from
the 5th and 9th grade of elementary school, in Portuguese and Mathematics subjects in all
treated years. For example, in the 5th year in 2015, the average in mathematics of the
beneficiary student increased by 1,072 points for being within the program and fulfilling the
education conditionality; another significant example was that over the years being black had a
negative influence on the grade (given the great interracial social inequality existing in the
country) but with the continuity of income transfer this scenario changed in 2019 for 5th grade
students who obtained an increase of 4,566 on average in math.
