Abstract

This study was carried out by performing a bibliographic and documentary review, consulting city administration and programme websites, contacting researchers, and reviewing previous survey findings developed by the author. It situates the Brazilian experience of Citizen’s Basic Income within the Social Protection System characterized by conditional cash transfer programmes. It presents and problematizes the experiments of the Brazilian municipalities. Two of these experiments did not reach implementation, and one of them is moving towards establishing a Basic Income. Others do not meet the basic criteria of universality and unconditionality.
