| Resumen: |
This review looks at the positive long-term impacts of cash transfer programmes in non-humanitarian contexts in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Evidence of long-term impacts is very limited. From reviews of multiple studies/cash programmes, as well as of individual programmes, long-term positive impacts are seen in relation to health and nutrition, education, labour market, and to a lesser extent, women’s empowerment outcomes. These findings indicate that cash transfers can be helpful in building human capital and thereby breaking the cycle of intergenerational poverty. |
