“…Expenses such as uniforms, transportation, books and other necessities can be financially burdensome for families. For example, evidence from the Pantawid Cash Transfer Program in the Philippines showed a 1.12% increase in school enrolment with the presence of the program (Catubig and Villano, 2017).…”

Purpose This study aims to investigate the extent to which the Indonesian conditional cash transfer (CCT), known as the Family Hope Program (FHP), impacts the probability of children engaging in labour activities.Design/methodology/approach This study utilizes data from the Indonesian Family Life Survey in 2014, focussing on periods following the implementation of the FHP. To estimate the impact of FHP on child labour in Indonesia, the authors employ a propensity score matching strategy to balance the characteristics observed between the participant and non-participant groups.Findings The estimates show that FHP has no statistical impact on child labour across all matching techniques. This implies that receiving the CCT does not always help poor households decrease the probability of stopping their children from participating in labour activities.Social implications The conditions applied to the beneficiaries, which only require children to attend school without requiring them to stop working, may not effectively address the issue of child labour. The current structure and design of the FHP need to be re-evaluated and improved to effectively combat child labour.Originality/value Despite numerous studies examining the impact of CCT on child labour which remains inconclusive in Indonesia, this study contributes to the existing literature by considering children participating in labour activities across all types of work without focussing on specific education levels or regions.Peer reviewThe peer review history for this article is available at: https://publons.com/publon/10.1108/IJSE-07-2023-0580

“…Studies, likewise, attempted to track the academic performance and school outcomes of 4Ps recipients finding a significant increase in school enrolment, attendance, and completion rate [8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15]. The recipients were also found to be motivated to study following adequate provision of school requirements and allowance [13].…”

To alleviate poverty in the Philippines, the governmen implemented the PantawidPamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) which has been patterned from the Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) Programs from other countries. This study sought to determine the recipients' profile and its relationship to their perceived program implementation in terms of its policy and objectives through a descriptive correlational study. Thirty-nine recipients from one public elementary school answered the questionnaire based on the PantawidPamilya Guide Booklet by the Department of Social Welfare and Development. Statistical tools such as eta correlation coefficient, Pearson's product-moment correlation coefficient, and Goodman and Kruskal's gamma were used to establish the relationship between the recipients' profile and perceived extent of implementation at 5% level of significance. The recipients' profile was determined using mean, percentages, and frequency distribution. The results revealed that the program's health and education policies and its social assistance and development objectiveswere perceived to be implemented, however, only a few profile factors were significant to the recipients' perceived program implementation.

“…Several studies were conducted on the impact evaluation and assessment of the implementation in the Philippines [7] and in various regions, particularly in Iloilo City [8], in Davao Oriental [9], in Batangas [10], and Ilocos Norte [11]. However, there have been limited studies that focused on compliance, livelihood support, and challenges experienced by implementers and exit beneficiaries assessed altogether, with Southern Negros Occidental as the research setting.…”

The 4Ps aim to strengthen the social protection system and reduce poverty in Philippines. Thus, this determined the 4Ps compliance in health and nutrition and education in a component city in Southern Negros Occidental, Philippines as assessed by the implementers and exit beneficiaries relative to designation and beneficiary location. It also profiled the livelihood support among beneficiaries in terms of medium enterprise development and employment facilitation. Likewise, it identified the challenges in the 4Ps implementation. Also, it investigated the difference in the compliance when grouped to demographics. Using the descriptive-comparative design, 151 implementers and 270 beneficiaries responded to the researcher-made questionnaire and checklist. In analysis, mean, standard deviation, and Kruskal Wallis were employed. Meanwhile, the researcher adhered to the Philippine Health Research Ethics Board. Generally, the compliance is very great. Regarding the livelihood support, few beneficiaries received the seed capital of P15,000.00 and employment facilitation fund of P5,000.00. The lack of vehicle, supplies, venue, and inaccessible roads were among the logistics and personnel issues. In knowledge and communication, challenges are on illiteracy, language barrier, lack of training on family and child-related issues. The inability to use ATM cards and pawning were issues too. Meanwhile, there was no difference in the compliance when grouped to demographics. Hence, the findings are instrumental in the continuous improvement of the program’s compliance.
