Productive, social and ecological
Keynesianism
The school savings program – Poupança Escola: gives the student a
financial incentive for annual promotion to the next grade and for
continuing the studies until the end of secondary school.
Guarantee of a Preschool Salary and of a Preschool Basket: avoids
that mothers abandon their children in order to work. Mothers
receive a salary and a basket with food and pedagogical toys for
their kids. Baskets will be distributed in the school, where mothers
will also receive the necessary instruction.
Promotion of reading: fights one main characteristic of poverty – the
low reading level, even among the literate. It is necessary to carry
the libraries to the people, in the form of Domestic Libraries
(bibliotecas domésticas) or Book Suitcases (malas do livro)
Paid Civic Service: building a society without partition demands a
program aimed at young people, offering a salary, a goal, a labor
ability, satisfaction, citizenship.
Productive, social and ecological
Keynesianism
School at home : paid incorporation of up to 500 thousand young
people and adolescent to serve as monitors na supplementary
education program.
Incorporation of the Brazilian University into the antipoverty struggle:
–
Preparation and recycling of elementary and secondary school
teachers
–
Involvement in the eradication of adult illiteracy in four year's time
–
Reorganization of some courses so that they contribute to the
formulation and implementation of antipoverty policies and
respect for ecology, employment creation, valorization of social
justice, housing, and health and nutrition care.
Healthcare for everyone: simple actions can increase the health level
of the poor, guaranteeing running water and sewage, offering family
medical care, building efficient public hospital, creating jobs for
cleaning agents.
Productive, social and ecological
Keynesianism
The Literacy Scholarship – the Bolsa Alfa: to mobilize the illiterates’
idle energy so that they will learn to read as quickly as possible. One
way to accomplish this is to pay adults to learn to read.
Training and financing of the Small Producer: a program to train the
workforce and, at the same time, offer credit and technical
assistance to those trained
People's Bank: since the financial system only makes loans to those
who already have access to credit, it would be a great revolution if
capital is made available to finance small producers.
Unmigration: any antipoverty program will have limited effect unless
the whole country is involved in an intense unmigration program from
urban areas. A fund can be created and used to pay the equivalent
to half a minimum wage for up to six months to the unemployed
people would return to their place of origin.
