This study attempts to focus on a narrower scope specifically is aimed to search for the possible explanations for women&rsquo / s and their daughters&rsquo / poverty experiences by arguing that within the household, women and their daughters are more vulnerable to poverty than men because of the dominant ideologies. I have already implemented a field study in one of Ankara&rsquo / s squatter area which is called Hidirliktepe located in district of Altindag with 30 women and their eldest daughters living in the same household. One of the qualitative interviewing techniques, in-depth interviewing, has been applied to the respondents and two different questionnaire frames used for mothers and the daughters. There are some important conclusions of the thesis. One of them is that poverty is experienced by women and their daughters different than the other members of the household. Another is that these experiences are also transferred to their daughters within the household. However, daughters are in a better condition than their mothers which might constitute a hope for their salvation from poverty because due to the changes in their social environments, their expectations also change. Moreover, survival strategies developed by women against poverty designate the level of poverty which is being experienced by women in the long term.

Desenvolvida em três partes, a dissertação inicia-se com a depuração conceitual da noção de moralização, assim como de sua correlação com as duas matrizes de justiça social: uma relativa à distribuição da renda na superação das desigualdades sociais e da pobreza e a outra resultante do reconhecimento das mulheres como titulares da renda transferida às famílias. O primeiro capítulo apresenta o processo de constituição e a estrutura de uma política moralizadora da pobreza no Brasil, com base no desdobramento de duas teses que lhe servem de substrato: a do imposto de renda negativo e a teoria do capital humano. No segundo capítulo, as peculiaridades do Programa constituem objeto privilegiado. Nele, consideram-se as políticas públicas como dispositivos que contêm e criam espaços de subjetivação junto aos beneficiários, com base em técnicas de controle voltadas às famílias pobres que pleiteiam ajuda estatal pró-subsistência. Na terceira parte, examina-se como tal dispositivo de política pública de combate à pobreza incorpora e institucionaliza padrões de gênero que acabam por reforçar a associação da mulher ao exercício do tradicional papel maternal, como expressão de sua responsabilidade moral e pública. / This study analyses sociopolitical meaning of moralization of families in poverty situation based on the foundations of the Brazilian current transfer program, Programa Bolsa Família (PBF), and the repercussion of this process under a gender perspective. Developed in three sections this dissertation begins with depuration of the conceptual notion of moralization as well as its correlation with two social justice matrices: the first concerning to income redistribution for overcoming social inequities, and the second resulting of acknowledging women as holders of the support income to the families. The first chapter presents the process of constitution and the structure of a poverty moralizing policy in Brazil based on unfolding of two thesis that serve as its substrate: the negative income tax and the human capital theory. The PBF’s peculiarities are privileged objects of the second chapter. In this section, public policies were considered as devices that hold and create a subjectification space for the beneficiaries, and are grounded on control techniques to those poor families that request State aid for subsistence. At third section, it is examined how such device of public policy to fight poverty incorporates and institutionalizes gender patterns that ends up reinforcing the association of women to the traditional motherhood role as an expression of their moral and public responsibility.
