Brazil has 50 million beggars, of which 22,5 million have less than
15 years. They are people that you/they don't get to win nor R$ 80
a month ( minus that U$1 dollar a day), to buy the minimum necessary
of food recommended by the World Organization of Health: 2.280 daily
calories. Those data are part of the study Map of Assets: to combats
the Poverty, published yesterday for the Fundacao
Getulio Vargas. According to the economist-boss of the Center of
Social Politics of the IBRE/FGV, Marcelo Neri, the social programs
are destined to the formal market, while the beggars are informal:
Most of our social politics doesn't aim at in the beggars. Those
that it aim at don't get right the objective, or, when they
get right, they don't provoke maintainable changes.

Neri increased that the objective of the study is to orientate
politics that seek to combat the poverty. Para him, the poor need,
above all, opportunities.
