Result on Child labour

Two cash transfer programs in Brazil were effective in diminishing weekly hours worked among children in the entire country.

Other results

Bolsa Familia is only able to reduce the probability of child labour in the South region, while the Child labour Eradication Program (PETI) only does so in the Southeast region. Both programs seem to increase the likelihood of child labour in the North and Northeast regions, which are the poorest in the country.
