Flávio Bolsonaro proposes limiting Bolsa Familia to two years if the beneficiary finds employment

Six days ahead of Brazil's presidential runoff election, right-wing candidate Flávio Bolsonaro has proposed limiting the Bolsa Familia social subsidy program to a two-year period for beneficiaries who secure employment. The measure was outlined in statements concerning the primary social program aimed at poor families in the country, as the electoral race intensifies between Bolsonaro and incumbent Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.

The proposal introduces a restriction on welfare distribution tied to formal employment status, marking a notable policy point in the final stretch of the presidential campaign. Economic adviser Daniella Marques also addressed the subsidy program during the lead-up to the second-round vote.
