Based on these studies that were carried out, we can have an earlier result”, he stated. “The result in 2023 will be much better. 2024, much better than 2023. 2025: much better”, said the minister. According to him, this is a concern for the entire Brazilian society. “When one part doesn’t sleep because they are hungry, the other doesn’t sleep out of fear of that portion. ” Dias also said that the insertion of Bolsa Família beneficiaries into the job market is a priority for the government. “We have now signed an agreement with the coffee sector […]. And there, see, the number of people with a formal contract grew in the coffee sector. We are doing this in several areas.” The minister recalled that the new Bolsa Família, which came into force this year, does not foresee the loss of benefits for those who have a formal contract. “This created a fear of signing a contract. It created a fear of formalizing a business. Now we change that. What counts for leaving is income from work. So, for example, Mrs. Luana works with a formal contract, earns minimum wage and receives Bolsa Família. She doesn’t lose Bolsa Família because she signed the card. The income must [per capita] exceeds R$660 to leave”, he explained. According to him, the focus is to provide opportunities for economic growth to those on the government’s social benefit register. “In the new Bolsa Família, we have a base of people with better education. Many people have high school education, technical education — 10% of people have higher education. So, give these people a hand. Here is Brazil’s wealth that, if we lend a hand to these people, giving credit, providing conditions to grow, Brazil wins. And the more Brazil lifts people out of poverty, the more it also impacts the economy. This makes the middle class grow,” he said.
