Descrição
Resumo:Brazilian public policies intended to reduce inequality have been ineffective, as shown by different studies, such as 2019 and 2020 Human Development Reports data. This paper's purpose is to understand – while focusing on education and health – why inequalities persist. A method based on public policies, legislation, theory and empirical data analysis was used. The propaedeutic research sought to present an interdisciplinary discussion starting from the idea that the Law is inserted in a complex society and receives its influences. The 2019-2020 Human Development Reports and 2018-2019 Continuous PNAD data  analysis suggest that there is inequality in parents capacity to provide education and health opportunities for their children. It can be checked that the investigated public policies, despite following the constitutionally proposed universality, do not meet the intended purposes in view of a non-inclusive structure and low intergenerational mobility.
