Conditional Cash Transfers

Klappentext This book lays out a conceptual framework for thinking about the economic rationale for conditional cash transfers (CCTs); reviews the very rich evidence that has accumulated on CCTs, especially arising from impact evaluations; discusses how the conceptual framework and the evidence on impacts should inform the design of CCT programs in practice; and discusses how CCTs fit in the context of broader social policies. Conditional cash transfer (CCT) programs are one of the most popular interventions in the social sectors in developing countries. This book provides an assessment, based on research, of CCT programs as an instrument of social policy.
