In particular, this means giving a higher priority to increasing expenditure on Bolsa Familia and other complementary programmes within the Brasil sem Miseria framework rather than on further pension increases. Evidence suggests that the effect of a marginal increase in Bolsa Familia benefits on inequality would be many times greater than for pension increases (IPEA, 2012). At present, all pension recipients - and this includes almost all people aged 65 and above - receive at least the minimum wage, which is almost 10 times as much as the extreme poverty line of BRL 70.
