CadÚnico: uma análise da política pública para combater a pobreza e a desigualdade em famílias de baixa renda no município de Santa Luzia/MG

Abstract

The article's theme is: The Single Registry in the fight against poverty and inequality: challenges of access, municipal management, and active outreach as a strategy for improving public policy. The research stemmed from the following problem: how can we contribute to ensuring that benefits actually reach the families who need them most through the Single Registry? Thus, the general objective of the research was to analyze the structure of the Single Registry as a public policy and suggest ways to improve it. Specifically, it sought to understand how the Single Registry works, what the criteria are for identifying and selecting benefits, and what challenges families face in accessing social programs. Therefore, the research was descriptive, using the bibliographic research technique, in which it sought to analyze how the system contributes to reducing poverty and inequality in the municipality, using official data from the Ministry of Social Development, Family and Fight against Hunger (MDS). The research results showed that the Single Registry is an instrument for including families who truly need government assistance, serving as the gateway for families to access various programs. However, it was found that there are several barriers that hinder access and the need to conduct active searches in municipal management.
