A ASSISTÊNCIA E O ESTADO DE BEM ESTAR SOCIAL NO BRASIL

Abstract

The assistance policies as social policies are associated with the development of the Welfare State. Traditionally, religious associations have developed voluntary, philanthropic and nonprofit social work in Brazil in partnership with the State, which until the twentieth century had not yet officialized Assistance as public policy. The 1988 Constitution represented a milestone for assistance policies, introducing a reform of the social security system, characterized above all by the political and administrative decentralization of public policies. The main problems related to the inefficiency of assistance policies in Brazil currently are related to difficulties in the processes of decentralization of assistance and participation of civil society in the decisions about public policies.
