Finally, we provide suggestive evidence of the key role that the psycho-social support had in enabling this change, by increasing awareness of social services in the community as well as households' orientation towards the future. 2012-03-30T07:34:24Z 2012-03-30T07:34:24Z 2011 Journal Article Estudios De Economia 03042758 http://hdl.handle.net/10986/5759 EN http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/igo World Bank Journal Article Chile
