The objective this paper is to analyse the effects of economic growth, inequality and the Bolsa Familia program (PBF) on poverty rates in Brazil. A dynamic panel model, estimated by the generalized method of moments for two-steps system, developed by Blundel-Bond (1998) was used. The results show that spending on the bolsa família did not, in any one of the models examined, had impact on poverty. It was found that the policies of economic growth which promote increase in income along with a reduction in inequality are preferable to policies of economic growth that only lead to increase an average income in reducing poverty in Brazil.
