The objective of this report is to present the results of the impact evaluation of Brazil’s Unemployment Insurance for Artisanal Fishers (Seguro-Defeso) on the well-being of beneficiaries and their families. The evaluation design implemented here builds on five previous reports that laid the foundation for the assessment of the socioeconomic impact of Seguro-Defeso. The report is divided into three main sections. In the first section, we summarize key takeaways from the previous reports, including the review of the legal framework on Seguro-Defeso with a focus on eligibility criteria, the literature review and the initial analysis of the databases used in the impact evaluation. Then, in the second section we detail the methodology and describe the data used in the impact evaluation econometric models. Finally, in the third section we show the results of the causal inference analysis of the impact of Seguro-Defeso on the well-being of the beneficiaries and their families using a dose–response methodology. This study assesses the impact of the Seguro-Defeso benefit on the socioeconomic conditions of the beneficiaries. The report shows that changes in eligibility criteria have led to heterogeneous groups gaining access to the benefit and that the administrative data does not have much information on non-beneficiaries, which calls for the use of a GPS to address both issues. Matters related to compliance with eligibility criteria could not be investigated, thus no evidence on errors of inclusion/exclusion are provided here. Nor is the combined impact of the Seguro-Defeso and Defeso on the preservation of the species that are meant to be protected by both policies addressed. As will be discussed later in this report,the lack of data on fish stocks is a major hurdle, not only for the definition and review of Defeso, but also for a proper evaluation of both policies as a combined strategy to ensure the economic and environmental sustainability of fishing stocks
