Analyses showed that in the presence of social benefits, poverty rates are quite high for certain types
of households, but especially for those with many members, according to our simulation models of poverty
rates, when some social benefits were included or excluded. Thus, some of these households, although they
received social benefits, are still in poverty, showing high rates of its incidence. Other households exceeded the
poverty threshold in the presence of social benefits, which is really gratifying. But those types of households
that increase the number of the poor people should be considered, especially where poverty incidence is very
high and hence their share in total poor people, and/or in the total population is representative. This paper aims
at households with many members, with numerous dependent children or family nucleus, and this type of
household recorded high incidence of poverty over time. These vulnerable groups should be in attention of
decision makers and targeted policies for them should be efficient and effective.
