| dc.description | The quality of life index, despite elucidating many
discussions, the conceptual subjectivity of the term does not show
precision, and consequently, many researchers seek to develop
methods aiming to measure this concept, bringing it to a more
concrete approach. In this study, the quality of life index method was
used to analyze the population of Mateiros, Tocantins, Brazil for
quality of life. After data collection, it was compared the quality of
life index between the population and the group of beneficiaries of
the Brazilian government assistance program Bolsa Fam??lia (Family
Allowance). Some of the people interviewed receive financial aid
from the federal government program Bolsa Fam??lia (22%).
Comparisons were made among the final score of the quality of life
index of the Mateiros population and the following factors: Gender,
age, education, those working or not with tourism and those who
receive or do not receive the Bolsa Fam??lia. It was observed that only
the factor, Bolsa Fam??lia (p-score 0.0138), shows an association with
quality of life improvement, noticing that those who have financial
aid had a higher quality of life improvement than the rest of the
population. It was concluded that, government assistance has shown a
decisive element on the enhancement of Mateiros population quality
of life, indicating that similar actions should be maintained. | |
