Acesso em: 22 ago. 2024.e- 2316-901Xhttp://repositorio.bc.ufg.br//handle/ri/25449The Bolsa Família Program is an answer of the Brazilian state for the problem of poverty. We can include it in the most broad spectrum of the social question. The temporal data are unmistakable in which concerns to the regional profile of the benefited families. We argue this regional profile is not result from the government decision, but by an architecture of dual development of the Brazilian territory, based in an idea of regional modernization which transformed the regional question in one of the most visible dimen-sions of the social question. The fight against poverty, however, can not be reduced to the regional scope, and the capillarity of the Bolsa Família program in the national territory is proof of this premise.porAcesso Abertohttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Bolsa FamíliaDualidadeQuestão regionalQuestão socialBolsa Família ProgramDualityRegional questionSocial questionArtigo10.11606/issn.2316-901X.v0i65p200-226
