Brazil's Bolsa Família credited with 20% drop in child labor, IBGE data shows
IBGE reports child labor among children and young people fell from 717,000 in 2024 to 573,000 in 2025, a 20% reduction, with Bolsa Família cited as the main driver. The data is preliminary and attribution to the program is inferred, not causally proven. This marks a notable social policy success in Brazil, potentially influencing political narratives ahead of elections.
