CONFERENCE ABSTRACT
Ecology of development: Family, school and public policies

An ecological development perspective implies in investigating the development of an active human being and the relations with the properties of its immediate and remote environments. The research on traditional populations besides revealing the forms of interdependence characteristic of certain development ecosystems, may favor the implementation of public policies to overcome poverty. Part of the studies of our research group (Laboratory of Ecology Development / UFPA- Brazil) will be presented. Quantitative and qualitative methods were used. Aspects of family structure and organization, the typicality of mesossystem relation between school and family and the impact of public policies (macrossystem), particularly, the "family allowance" will be described. Despite the profound impacts of the family allowance program in the income recovery, it is concluded that their impact is insignificant in relation to the increase in school influence in the routine of the children.
