the applicants
Last January, based on an analysis of the data recorded in the registrations for the previous draw, it was found that “the 41.5% of the women who expect to be benefited live in a condition of “critical overcrowding”, that is, more than three people share an environment.
Besides, 30.2% declared living in conditions of “moderate overcrowding”which means that “they live in the same space with two or three people”.
The records of the Ministry of Social Development also found that “10% of the women who applied to access the program suffered or suffer some type of gender-based violence”; that 17.4% are “single-parent households” and that 13.6% are dependent on a family member with a disability.
The My Piece program is compatible with any social benefit, including the Work Promotion program; however, from the ministry they insisted that “those who do not complete the progress of the work will be disqualified for new lines of economic assistance.”
