Public policies are actions and programs that are developed by the State to guarantee and put into practice rights that are provided for in the Federal Constitution and other laws. These are measures and programs created by governments dedicated to ensuring the well-being of the population.
Public policies affect all citizens, of all educational levels, regardless of gender, race, religion or social level. With the deepening and expansion of democracy, the responsibilities of the popular representative have diversified. Today, it is common to say that its function is to promote the well-being of society, which is related to well-developed actions and their execution in areas such as health, education, environment, housing, social assistance, leisure, transport and security, or In other words, quality of life as a whole must be considered.
