| Abstract | dc.description.abstract | This paper evaluates the effect of an anti-poverty program, Chile Solidario,
during its first two years of operation. We find that the program tends to increases
significantly their take-up of cash assistance programs and of social
programs for housing and employment, and to improve education and health
outcomes for participating households. There is no evidence that the participation
to employment program translates into improved employment or income
outcomes in the short term. 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. | en_US |
