SOUZA, Wagner Leite de    COSTA, Frederico Alves. Bolsa Família Program: Beneficiaries Narratives Presented in Scientific Productions. []. , 21, 3, pp.950-970. ISSN 1808-4281.  https://doi.org/10.12957/epp.2021.62692.

The article deals with a literature review that aims to understand the meanings attributed to the Bolsa Família Program (PBF) by beneficiaries, based on narratives present in scientific productions. To this end, we carried out a bibliographic survey on the "Portal de Periódicos CAPES" between june and august 2018. We selected 35 articles that presented discussions about the narratives of beneficiaries. We observed in these narratives a discursive plurality regarding the potential and limits of the Program around five points: a) Uses of the PBF benefit; b) Female ownership and family relationships; c) Conditionalities and access to public services; d) Work/employment dynamics; e) "Exit doors". We believe that this research helps to build reflections aimed at expanding and/or improving the Program. This debate is localized in the field of social and political psychology interested in thinking about the role of public policies in addressing Brazilian social inequalities.
