Result on Child labour

For poor households, there has been a reduction in wages of working children who presumably now spend more time in school in compliance with the cash transfer\'s conditionalities, indicating less child labour. For nonpoor households, there is some indication that program participation led to moral hazard as evidenced by lower income from salaries and wages.

Other results

The reduction in income is greater than the increase in transfers received by nonpoor households, which might sinal that their savings declined.
