Brazil: The Lost Road to Citizen’s Income

Lena Lavinas

Chapter Chapter 1 in Citizen’s Income and Welfare Regimes in Latin America, 2013, pp 29-49 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This essay aims to reflect on some of the impasses in the implementation of Citizen’s Income (CI) in Brazil. While the country is an exception in the international scenario as the first in the world to adopt Citizen’s Income by law, its experience is riddled with paradoxes that raise doubts on the possibility of moving from conditional cash transfer programs (CCTs) to the unconditional, universal CI.
