OS IMPACTOS DO PERIODO PANDÊMICO NOS INDICADORES DO ORÇAMENTO FAMILIAR

Abstract

Research was carried out on the impacts of the pandemic period on family budget indicators. Therefore, this article aims to evaluate the percentage reached by spending on the basic food basket compared to the minimum wage from 2017 to 2021. The specific objectives were: to verify the evolution of the salary, basket and the dollar over the years, if there was a worsening during the pandemic by calculating the correlation. The approach was quantitative, data collection, variation and correlation calculations were performed. The procedures used were document analysis, DIEESE statistics; IBGE and the daily dollar.. The average value of the basic food basket from 2017 to 2019 was 47.37%. From 2020 to 2021, the average in p.p was 56.47%. Comparing the averages before and during the pandemic, the increase in p.p was approximately 9.09%. From 2017 to 2019, the average salary needed to serve most families would be BRL 2,915.54. While from 2020 to 2021 the average would be R$ 4,065.95, almost double compared to past years. The correlation index of the basic basket compared to the minimum wage was 0.9, very close to the positive 1, leading to the conclusion that the association is strong, as the minimum wage increased, the value of the basket also increased. For minimum wage x dollar it was –0.8, meaning that the association is perfect negative as the dollar increases and the wage loses value. It is concluded that the pandemic period was difficult and impacted the family budget.
