| description |
The authors assess the impact of
Argentina's main social policy response to the severe
economic crisis of 2002. The program aimed to provide direct
income support for families with dependents, for whom the
head had become unemployed due to the crisis. Counterfactual
comparisons are based on a matched subset of applicants not
yet receiving the program. Panel data spanning the crisis
are also used. The authors find that the program reduced
aggregate unemployment, though it attracted as many people
into the workforce from inactivity, as it did people who
would have been otherwise unemployed. While there was
substantial leakage to formally ineligible families, and
incomplete coverage of those eligible, the program did
partially compensate many losers from the crisis, and
reduced extreme poverty. |
