Desigualdade de renda, desemprego e pobreza nas regiões metropolitanas do Brasil: uma perspectiva heterodoxa
(Associação Keynesiana Brasileira, 2019) CARVALHO, André Cutrim; CARVALHO, David Ferreira; RODRIGUES, Phelipe da Silva
The present paper aims to deal with the theoretical and empirical view of the evolution of income inequality, unemployment and poverty in the Brazilian metropolitan regions from 2001 to 2011. For this purpose, it is necessary to recover the theoretical framework from the theories of John Maynard Keynes and even Hyman Philip Minsky. The main conclusion is that the social diagnosis, during this period, showed an impressive reduction in income inequality and poverty. In this way, it can be seen that the reduction of income inequalities are extremely important parameters for the expansion of the national domestic market. On the other hand, family income transfer programs, such as “Bolsa Família”, have contributed to the reduction of absolute poverty. Last, but not least, the results obtained through social indicators could attest to this fact.

Infância e pobreza: as crianças ao cuidado do cinema
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2018-06) DOMINGOS, Susana Isabel Marcelino Guerra
Prejudice against poverty, and especially child poverty, built on heavy class stereotypes, carries a series of associated negative images and representations. Too often associated with wandering and delinquency, poor childhood is seen as a threat to society, and it is an uncomfortable object to look at because it gives visibility to a disturbing side of our social reality. This paper proposes that we focus on the way in which childhood in an exception state was represented by cinema. From Luis Buñuel's “Os Esquecidos” and François Truffaut's “Os Incompreendidos”, we will try to understand how child poverty is given to us, while questioning the role of cinema in the exercise of resistance against the phenomenon of invisibility of poverty, as well as the range and limits of our reaction to the images we project

Pobreza na Região Metropolitana de Belém sob os enfoques teóricos das capacidades e do espaço social
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2022-11-16) BRASIL, Marília Carvalho; FERNANDES, Danilo Araújo; SANTOS, Ricardo Bruno Nascimento dos; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3685339264701382
The general objective of this study is to study the relationships between poverty and social structure from monetary and multidimensional perspectives for the Metropolitan Region of Belém in the period 2000 to 2010. The main data sources used were microdata from the 2000 and 2010 Demographic Censuses. In the multidimensional analysis, the multidimensional poverty indexes (MPI) were constructed based on the Alkire-Foster method (2007, 2009). The typology developed by the Observatory of Metropolises, which adopts the Bourdieusian perspective, was used to analyze the social structure. In the first decade of the 21st century, there was a significant reduction in the proportion of poor people in the RMB from an income perspective. This trend was observed both for the RMB as a whole and for all metropolitan municipalities. The decline in monetary poverty indicators in the RMB followed the national trend that occurred in the 2000s as a consequence of economic conditions and public policies. By adopting multidimensionality in poverty analysis, it is possible to perceive the heterogeneity that exists in the areas studied, as advocated by Amartya Sen. Comparing the indicators of the two approaches, the results point to higher levels of poverty captured by the multidimensional perspective, when compared to the monetary perspective. This situation occurs for all levels of aggregation: regional, municipal and weighted area. The results of multidimensional poverty indicate that there was a small increase in the proportion of poor people in the RMB as a whole. The levels of multidimensional poverty presented were very high in comparison with the national averages in the period 2000/2010. The public policies that contributed to removing the condition of multidimensional poverty from a significant portion of the national population do not seem to have presented the same results for the RMB. Regarding the social structure of the RMB, it is clear that there is a progressive increase in the population classified as deprived as one advances in the social structure when considering the various indicators that make up the MPI (incidence, intensity and MPI). The population at the top of the social pyramid considered poor is significantly smaller than that at the base. As in the analysis of regional and municipal aggregates, the dimensions that acted to intensify the deprivations of the population residing in the RMB were education and standard of living.

Resiliência familiar: o olhar de professores sobre famílias pobres
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2018-12) MATOS, Larissa Araújo; CRUZ, Edson Júnior Silva da; SANTOS, Thamyris Maués dos; SILVA, Simone Souza da Costa
This research aims to describe the professor’s perspective about family resilience of their student’s family. The data collect phase took place in a public school, located in the outskirts of Belém-Pará city. Eleven professors who teaches from the first to the fifth year participated answering a semi-structured interview and speaking their opinions in a group interview dynamic. The data categorization was made accordingly to Bardin [Análise de conteúdo (2011)] and through the software Nvivo 10 version. The results showed that teachers understand the familiar resilience elements but they underestimate those elements in the school’s family; tend to have a negative and pessimist perception about the success possibilities and resilience in those groups; have a stereotyped vision of family; a stigmatized perspective about poverty and about the social benefits those family have access.
