Government Policies for Productive Inclusion

The general aim of this work is to analyse targeted productive microcredit in particular, in order to verify the importance of this instrument for productive inclusion in the Northern Pioneer Region of Paraná. It seeks to reflect on the organisation of actions to expand social promotion through the productive inclusion of members of families with insufficient income to meet their basic needs. It is based on the hypothesis that microcredit is an instrument of government public policy that meets both the demands of combating poverty and policies to promote entrepreneurship, support nano, micro and small businesses and generate employment and income. The conclusion is that in the Norte Pioneiro region of Paraná, there has been a positive picture of an increase in the volume of microcredit operations and the amounts directed to the municipalities studied. It is understood that microcredit, the object of this study, is configured as an element that seeks to guarantee and provide access to citizens’ fundamental rights; the generation of opportunities and results for individuals and/or social groups and security for individuals in situations of dependency or vulnerability.
