Conditional cash transfers in Brazil, Chile and Mexico: Impacts upon inequality

We decompose changes in the Gini coefficient to investigate whether the Conditional Cash Tranfers (CCT) have had an inequality reducing effect in three Latin American countries: Brasil, Mexico and Chile. We conclude that CCT programs helped reducing inequality between the mid-1990s and the mid-2000s...

Concluimos que los programas de Transferencias de Ingreso Condicionales contribuyeron para la reducción de la desigualdad entre los años 1990 y los años 2000. Estos programas representan apenas el 1% del ingreso total. Sin embargo, como son muy bien focalizados, fueron responsables por 21% da la disminución de la desigualdad en Brasil y en México. En Chile fueron menos importantes, contribuyendo con 15% de una pequeña reducción en la desigualdad.El Colegio de México, A.C.2009-01-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://estudioseconomicos.colmex.mx/index.php/economicos/article/view/38710.24201/ee.v0i0.387Estudios Económicos de El Colegio de México; Special issue (February); 207-224Estudios Económicos de El Colegio de México; Número extraordinario (Febrero); 207-2240186-72020188-6916reponame:Estudios Económicos de El Colegio de Méxicoinstname:EL COLEGIO DE MÉXICOinstacron:COLMEXenghttps://estudioseconomicos.colmex.mx/index.php/economicos/article/view/387/465Copyright (c) 2009 Estudios Económicosinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:oai.estudioseconomicos.colmex.mx:article/3872024-08-16T22:04:30Z
