Abstract

This article aims to discuss the conditionality on the education as part of the design of Bolsa Família income transfer program. It is concluded that the strategy of conditioning the income transfer to the participation of children and adolescents in school life, in order to raise the accumulation of "human capital" in this population segment, tends to bump the limits set by elements of economic and cultural order, which converge to the maintenance of unequal features that characterize the structure of social space in the Brazilian reality.
