The promise of conditional cash transfers
aeaweb.org- 6-year long study of Conditional Cash Transfers (CCT) finds that they improve the lives of children living in poverty in Indonesia.
- The positive effects included better nutrition and greater access to healthcare for children in families that received CCTs.
- The study provides guidelines for policymakers that want to implement similar programs, and it’s one of the first big studies of how CCTs improve lives.
- CCTs are about providing poor, working families with money based on simple conditions (like children regularly attending school).
