Abstract(s)
A insegurança alimentar pressupõe que, de alguma forma, a disponibilidade ou capacidade de acesso aos alimentos necessários para uma vida ativa e saudável estejam comprometidas. Trata-se de uma limitação na obtenção de alimentos por falta de recursos, como consequência de um contexto económico, social e cultural, não respeitador da dignidade humana.
Objetivo: Estudar a relação entre o desemprego e o nível de insegurança alimentar nos agregados familiares em Portugal.
Metodologia: Adotou-se uma metodologia de investigação quantitativa, descritiva, inferencial, transversal. Adaptou-se para português e aplicou-se o questionário “Instrumento para la medición de la inseguridad alimentaria a nivel del hogar” a 263 indivíduos desempregados nos distritos de Bragança, Vila
Real, Viseu e Porto.
Resultados: O nível de insegurança alimentar é 75,3% nos agregados com crianças e 63,1 % nos outros. O distrito do Porto é o que apresenta um maior nível de insegurança alimentar (86,8%), seguido pelo distrito de Bragança (73,6%). Os distritos de Vila Real (55,0%) e Viseu (55,4%) apresentam menor nível de insegurança alimentar.
O tempo de desemprego está significativamente associado com a insegurança alimentar (p = 0,000), que também se associa significativamente com a idade (p = 0,000), rendimento per capita (p = 0,000) e escolaridade (p = 0,000).
Conclusão: Verifica-se que os agregados familiares com crianças têm uma maior exposição à insegurança alimentar. A idade e o tempo de desemprego são diretamente proporcionais à insegurança alimentar, contrariamente ao rendimento e escolaridade que são inversamente proporcionais a esta.
When the availability or capacity to access the food needed for an active and healthy life are compromised there is food insecurity. It consists in a limitation to obtain food due to lack of resources, as a result of an economic, social and cultural context that does not respect the human dignity. Objective: To study the relationship between unemployment and the level of food insecurity in Portuguese family house- holds. Methodology: A quantitative, descriptive, inferential, cross-sec- tional study was developed. The questionnaire “Instrumento para la medición de la inseguridad alimentaria a nivel del hogar” was adapted to Portuguese and used in 263 unemployed individuals in the districts of Braganza, Vila Real, Viseu and Oporto. Results: The level of food insecurity is 75,3 % in households with children and 63,1 % in the other households. The district of Oporto is the one with a higher level of food insecurity (86,8 %), followed by Braganza district (73,6 %). The Vila Real (55,0%) and Viseu (55,4 %) districts have a lower level of food insecurity. The length of the unemployment situation is significantly asso- ciated with food insecurity (p = 0,000). Age (p = 0,000), per capita income (p = 0,000) and schooling (p = 0,000) are also significantly associated with food insecurity. Conclusion: It was verified that households with children have greater exposure to food insecurity. Age and time of unemploy- ment are directly proportional to food insecurity, contrary to income and education that are inversely proportional.
