O Auxílio Emergencial e a vulnerabilidade socioeconômica no município de Parnaíba (PI) na pandemia do COVID-19

Abstract

The research aims to analyze the condition of socioeconomic vulnerability of the Parnaiban population in the context of the Covid-19 Pandemic using the profile of the beneficiaries of Emergency Aid. The nature of the research is quantiqualitative. 143 questionnaires were applied with 14 semi-open multiple choice questions. The resource for tabulation and analysis used was the statistical software SPSS. The first results point out that before the start of the Pandemic, the population of Parnaiban was in a situation of socioeconomic vulnerability, especially in the labor market, and that in Pandemic there was a reduction in the net balance of generation of formal employment, where the number of beneficiaries of the Emergency Aid reached approximately the equivalent of the municipality's total PEA. It also points out that the predominant profile of the beneficiaries is that they are young men and women, highly educated, unemployed or inactive, who lived with about 4 people in the same residence, are financially dependent on other family members and have average per capita income. up to R $ 261.00. It is concluded that there is a large participation of “invisible” workers (discouraged, hidden and inactive unemployed) in Emergency Aid, which inflated the number of beneficiaries close to the volume of the PEA. Finally, it is estimated that the mass of income generated by the Aid is R $ 253,285,200.00 million. Therefore, the “inflators” contributed both to generate such income for the municipality, and to bring greater security in the fragile income condition of their family in this period of economic and sanitary disturbance in Covid-19.
