Bruno Lautier, « La protection sociale dans le Brésil de Lula : trop de dépenses, ou trop peu de recettes ? », Revue Tiers Monde (documents), ID : 10.3406/tiers.2003.5407
Bruno Lautier — Social protection in Lula 's Brazil : too much expenditure or too little revenue ? The social protection debate re-launched by the election of Lula focuses on two issues : The « zero hunger » programme and public sector retirement pensions. Social protection however amounts to more than these two. After a brief review of the situation of the 90s, this paper underlines the principal reasons for the Brazilian social protection crisis, mainly poor revenues and the reasons thereto. Room for manœuvre depends on capacity to build a project and a consensus on social protection, but that is hardly in sight.
