The ten districts of the city offering more vacancies in social and educational programs for children and adolescents are in the central regions and better structured in Sao Paulo. Already the ten districts with the most fragile networks of protection are concentrated in suburbs and large number of children and young people under conditions of extreme poverty. The ranking of services in the city, obtained exclusively by the newspaper O Estado de S. Paul, was commissioned by the Office Popular Municipal Council Rights of the Child and Adolescent (CMDCA).

In the first place in the ranking of care was Moema, in the south. Among the more than 70 thousand residents of the area, 53% live in families whose head earns more than 20 minimum wages per month, which is reflected in social indicators of the neighborhood. The situation is reversed in Turkey, the last placed between all 96 districts, which has ten places in different types of services for every thousand inhabitants up to 18 or 56 times less than the district of Moema. At the same time, 11% of its young people in extreme poverty.

And the ranking brings surprises. The Brás, in the central region, is the fourth district with a smaller supply of places, with an index of 14 vacancies for every thousand young people from the neighborhood. Already the district of Eccleshall, in the southern suburbs, with 76 vacancies for every thousand people up to 18 years, is slightly below the average recorded in the capital. For the president of CMDCA, Elaine Macena Ramos, the study helps identify distortions. "With this framework, we can help guide investment of public power and the third sector and to the people Improvements charge less benefit." Information is the newspaper O Estado de S. Paul.
