Abstract:
In 2001, the Federal Government installed the Cadastro Único, a national database of poor families. A family member comes to a CRAS, or similar, and performs the registration. The use of an application that allows citizens to register remotely is in progress. This change, called robotization, has generated strong debates. This article inserts into the debate arguments about the features of CadÚnico, related to citizenship rights and the management of social policies.
