RESUMO

This paper aims at analyzing the "strategies for social inclusion" carried out by the city of Sao Paulo between the years 2001 and 2004, in a context of low economic performance, high unemployment and desestructuring labour market. Initially, we performed a study on the economical changes that occurred across the country in the decades of 1980 s and 1990 s, with the introduction and consolidation of neoliberalism in Brazil. Subsequently, we studied the impact of these changes in the municipality of Sao Paulo. With this background scenario, it was possible to analyze the social policies of the city government in the areas of re-distribution and generation of revenues/resources, employment and work. We conclude that although well elaborated strategies and program efficacy, local social policies can do very little to fight against the fraying of the social fabric in Brazil. The low capacity of change by the "strategies for social inclusion" program is associated more with the adverse context in which it was performed than with difficulties or failure in execution of the social policies
