| dc.description.abstract | The Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) Program has been lauded as one of the most effective social security nets for the poor. Different CCT programs across countries have been consistently proven to promote capital accumulation– enabling poverty alleviation and preventing recurrence. In contrast and on a related note, however, a number of studies have found that people below the poverty line were more likely to consume alcohol and/or tobacco, comprising large shares of total household expenditures and exacerbating poverty. In light of such, this study aims to identify and measure systematic relationships between drinking as well as smoking behaviors and other household characteristics that would be the determinants thereof– with particular attention to member households of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps), the CCT program of the Philippines. Using the 2014 Annual Poverty Indicators Survey, the study estimated a number of OLS regressions as well as an Ordered Logit regression to detect and measure said relationships, if any existed. Results have shown that 4Ps payments do not systematically affect alcohol and tobacco spending nor does membership significantly affect falling into a certain spending range for the said commodities, suggesting that the 4Ps boasts a well-design program. Among other results, it was also found that drinking and smoking behaviors are closely related such that one tends to encourage the other. Moreover, female- headed households tended to spend less on alcohol and tobacco, encouraging the initiative of deliberately and preferentially identifying women as the recipient of 4Ps payments on behalf of their respective households. | |
