Item Restricted Explaining 4P's success on children's school attendance: do social attitudes matter?(2018-05-04) Apostol, Josemilio Manuel Z. ; Vegamora, Jonathan Michael P. ; Escresa, Laarni C.Conditional cash transfer programs have been planned and implemented around the world as a way to alleviate poverty both in the short and long term. This study aims to examine whether social factors such as gender norms and perceptions toward domestic violence also have an influence on the education outcomes among conditional cash transfer beneficiaries. Our results confirm the findings of previous studies that receiving conditional cash transfers has a significant and positive effect on school attendance. Emigration from the household has no statistically significant impact on school attendance but work hours with pay does. Gender norms and the wife’s views towards domestic violence are found to be statistically significant, along with other variables: gender, hunger without food to eat, and repeating a grade or year level in school are a few. Lastly, community and spatial variables also have a statistically significant impact.
