Description

Programmes that subsidize poor families who keep their children in school are part of a new approach to poverty reduction in developing countries. Observations show that these "Cash for Education" programmes help reduce poverty in the short run by raising the earning power of these children in the long run. The authors explore the record of these programmes in Argentina, Bangladesh, Brazil, Chile, Honduras and Mexico and provide a framework for encouraging this model elsewhere.

Author Biography:

Samuel Morley is a visiting research fellow at the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI). He has published monographs on poverty and distribution in Latin America, conditioned cash transfers and the effect of CAFTA in Central America. During his 25 years at the University of Wisconsin and Vanderbilt he taught the graduate macro course and published books on inflation and macroeconomics, and wrote a number of papers on the role of finance in macro models. Since he came to IFPRI he has developed CGE models with a regional focus for Peru, a trade focus for the analysis of CAFTA, and most recently a CGE model with working capital for Honduras. David Coady is Deputy Division Chief of the Expenditure Policy Division at the Fiscal Affairs Department (FAD) of the IMF. Prior to that, he was a Research Fellow at the International Food Policy Research Institute and a lecturer in economics in the University of London. He earned his Ph.D. in economics from the London School of Economics in 1992.
