BOLSA FAMILIA

referred in editorial above...

Bolsa Família is a social welfare program of the Brazilian government, part of the Fome Zero network of federal assistance programs.
Bolsa Família provides financial aid to poor Brazilian families;

if they have children, families must ensure that the infants attend school and are vaccinated.
.
.
The program attempts to both reduce short-term poverty by direct cash transfers and fight long-term poverty by increasing human capital among the poor through conditional cash transfers.

The Bolsa Familia program has been mentioned as one factor contributing to the reduction of poverty in Brazil, which fell 27.7% during the first term in the Lula administration
