Abstract: The Brazilian economy continues presenting the most unequal distribution of incomeamong all countries in the world. The article presents the consequences of the growingdisparities and considers the pros and cons of the introduction of a Guaranteed MinimumIncome Program, through a negative income tax, as an efficient instrument to remove poverty.The second part of this work identifies an analytical structure which could reproducethe effects, on the level of the productive structure, of a process of Income Distribution. Theaim was achieved as a result of the choice of an Input-Output Model which used an enlargementof the basic Leontief (1951) Model, from a derivation of social accounting matrix,as resulted in an estimation of the disaggregated multipliers for production, income andemployment.
