Child labor fought with cash - Paperback

by Donald M. Barnes (Author)

This book presents the political economy dimension of conditional cash transfer programs. It also delves into the evaluation of one such program implemented in rural Nicaragua

and measures the impact of the program on poor households, specifically on how the program affects children's work. The analysis throughout this ���������������� focuses on the impacts

of transfer programs on beneficiary wellbeing as well as beneficiary behavior toward their children. In particular, the focus is on the decision of adults to engage children in various labor

activities while receiving monetary benefits from the program.
