| Abstract | Social assistance in the context of workfare: an analysis of the National Program for Access to Technical Education and Employment Brazil Without Poverty (PRONATEC BSM) It is object of this dissertation study the analysis of contradictions, concepts and tendencies in the Brazilian social welfare policy, related to the logic of workfare (welfare in exchange of work) and its plaintiffs activation mechanisms. The expansion of workfare today is translated as the obligation to work or to provide something in exchange for social protection, resulting in changes in the regulation of the capitalist state which happens to have a Schumpeterian bias, and, concomitantly, influencing in the given configuration of social policies, which become increasingly tradeable and cease to be guided by the imperative of satisfaction of human needs. One of the social policies that has been incorporating more clearly this trend is social assistance, through its relationship with the activation measures, given its historical contradiction with the work. The research made has documentary characterization, it was guided by dialectical materialism method and used the case study of the National Program for Access to Technical Education and Employment (PRONATEC BSM). This program was chosen because it is paradigmatic as it express the relationship between social assistance and activation in the Brazilian context, since it is operated by social assistance units and has aimed to offer professional training to beneficiaries of income transference and to people enrolled or in registration process in the Single Registry for Social Programs of the Federal Government. The results found show that, despite the specifics of the welfare state development in Brazil, there is a growing trend of incorporating workfare principles, mainly through the mediation of social welfare policy, which has shown technicality and bureaucratic character, basing increasingly its actions in procedures related to the Bolsa Família Program. In this sense, PRONATEC BSM is the main program that allows the activation of current users of social assistance, in addition to strengthening targeting mechanisms, having little scope and effectiveness, demonstrating that its continuity can be attributed to political appeal to features and subjective appearance, which, in turn, confirms the current ideas ventilated of promotion of autonomy, emancipation and empowerment. |
