摘要
The rise of social assistance in Brazil has been remarkable. The 1988 Constitution signalled a renewed social contract' leading to citizenship-based social assistance providing guaranteed income to older and disabled people in poverty. Municipal activism in the 1990s extended the provision of direct transfers to all households in poverty through Bolsa Escola and other programmes later consolidated into Bolsa Familia. This article studies the origins and evolution of social assistance institutions in Brazil, paying due attention to the role of ideas and politics.
