| dc.description.abstract | Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) programs have been the target of research and impact evaluations because of their effects on labor market decisions. This paper focuses on the CCT program in the Philippines and on its impact on child labor. Logistic regression shows that the program has a positive effect on school enrollment but a negative or an insignificant effect on child labor, which implies that the CCT program is an ineffective way of combating child labor. Furthermore, it discourages child labor for younger children (aged 4-9) but not for older children aged (10-17). These findings confirm CCT impact evaluations in Latin America and confonn with Becker's theories on allocation of time and on social interactions. | |
