It found that the program does have a positive effect on school achievement for children aged 7 to 12 living in rural areas but practically no effect for the same population living in urban areas.

La evidencia disponible indica que estos programas tienen un impacto positivo tanto en matrícula como en asistencia escolar. Sin embargo, existe muy poca evidencia acerca del impacto de estos programas en el logro escolar. En este estudio utilizamos datos del programa colombiano Familias en Acción para estimar el efecto del subsidio condicionado en logro escolar. Encontramos que el programa tiene un efecto positivo en el logro escolar para niños entre 7 y 12 años en zonas rurales pero no en zonas urbanas. Adicionalmente, encontramos que el programa tiene un leve efecto negativo en el logro escolar de los adolescentes, particularmente en zonas rurales. Los posibles mecanismos de estos efectos son explorados y discutidos en el presente estudio.43 páginasapplication/pdfengUniversidad de los Andes, Facultad de Economía, CEDEDocumentos CEDE No. 08 Febrero de 2009https://ideas.repec.org/p/col/000089/005403.htmlThe impact of conditional cash transfers on children's school achievement : evidence from ColombiaEl impacto de las transferencias condicionadas en el logro escolar : evidencia para ColombiaDocumento de trabajoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/workingPaperhttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_8042http://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85Texthttps://purl.org/redcol/resource_type/WPPolicy analysisStudent achievementSubsidiesConditional cash transfersPobreza - Política gubernamental - ColombiaBienestar social - Política gubernamental - ColombiaColombia - Política socialColombia - Condiciones económicasI28, I38, J13Facultad de EconomíaPublicationORIGINALdcede2009-08.pdfdcede2009-08.pdfapplication/pdf575513https://repositorio.uniandes.edu.co/bitstreams/95352c80-95e0-46df-83be-dfd33135925f/download6fcd76bee438db290a250a75ca7a257eMD51TEXTdcede2009-08.pdf.txtdcede2009-08.pdf.txtExtracted texttext/plain86235https://repositorio.uniandes.edu.co/bitstreams/f986f642-a7bb-4ef9-87fc-2dda6192cac6/download44accffea5f74fdc1445c61a3a17fa74MD54THUMBNAILdcede2009-08.pdf.jpgdcede2009-08.pdf.jpgIM Thumbnailimage/jpeg3286https://repositorio.uniandes.edu.co/bitstreams/b9169a2d-07dd-4801-963f-6a5d35414eb0/downloadaae3c26cef4194a353e2a0cb3f0696b7MD551992/8098oai:repositorio.uniandes.edu.co:1992/80982024-06-04 15:44:00.153http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/open.accesshttps://repositorio.uniandes.edu.coRepositorio institucional Sénecaadminrepositorio@uniandes.edu.co |
