The program was intended to provide direct income support for families with dependent sand whose head had become unemployed because of the crisis. Counter factual comparisons are based on a matched subset of applicants not yet receiving program assistance. Panel data spanning the crisis are also used. The program reduced aggregate unemployment, though it attracted as many people into the workforce from inactivity as it did people who otherwise would have been unemployed. Although there was substantial leakage to formally ineligible families and incomplete coverage of those who were eligible, the program did partially compensate many losers from the crisis and reduced extreme poverty. 2014-02-26T14:42:17Z 2014-02-26T14:42:17Z 2004-09 Journal Article http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2004/09/17742437/social-protection-crisis-argentinas-plan-jefes-y-jefas World Bank Economic Review http://hdl.handle.net/10986/17165 English en_US CC BY-NC-ND 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/igo World Bank Washington, DC: World Bank Publications & Research :: Journal Article Publications & Research Latin America & Caribbean ARGENTINA
