The impact of Conditional Cash Transfer Programs on educational outcomes beyond school attendance: the case of the AUH in Argentina

In this paper we estimate the impact on educational outcomes beyond school attendance of the Universal Child Allowance (AUH), a massive conditional cash transfer program targeted at young children of unemployed and informal workers launched in Argentina in late 2009. Evidence from previous works su...

description In this paper we estimate the impact on educational outcomes beyond school attendance of the Universal Child Allowance (AUH), a massive conditional cash transfer program targeted at young children of unemployed and informal workers launched in Argentina in late 2009. Evidence from previous works suggests that the AUH has had a significant positive impact on attendance rates, but concentrated on boys in upper-secondary school. In this paper, we study the effects on other educational outcomes: intra-year dropout rates and primary school completion rates. The analysis highlights heterogeneous effects across age groups and gender. In particular, the AUH may be held responsible for increasing intra-year continuity rates of eligible girls aged 12 to 14 (almost 4 p.p.) and 15 to 17 (7 p.p.) while no effects were found for children aged 6 to 11. The program seems to have also increased the probability of graduating from primary school of over-age eligible children (1.4 p.p. for boys aged 12 to 14, almost 3 p.p. for girls in that age range and 2 p.p. for boys in the 15-17 age group).
