Item Restricted Effects of conditional cash transfers on elementary school participation in the Philippines: an analysis(2008-10) Elpusan, Neil Everett B.Will a Filipino household send its children to school given an additional income in the form of cash? The answer to this question will confirm whether or not the conditional cash transfer program, which was found to be effective in Latin American countries and the Caribbean in promoting human capital accumulation among poor households, is effective in the Philippines in its end. Since the program has been implemented only early this year in January, there are no data yet which will attest to its effectiveness in the country. This study looks into the factors influencing the schooling decision of Filipino households. From these factors, it focuses on total household income, the variable used to proxy for the cash transfer, and examines whether this will have a bearing on the decision of Filipino households to send their children to school.
