This paper evaluates, based on the experience in the Paraná area, the minimum income programme implemented by the Federal District Government in May 1995. It concerns three aspects. First, an analysis of the means test applied, that is, the system of scores used for the selection of the families among those who have registered as candidates. Second, an examination of the results of the selection process, through the comparison of characteristics of selected and not selected families. Third, the comparison of the pool of selected poor families and those defined according to the same characteristics in the National Sample Survey of Households (PNAD) for the Federal District.
