“…Los PTM que han recibido una mayor atención académica corresponden a aquellas de carácter condicionado, cuyas investigaciones han reportado resultados heterogéneos sobre su efectividad (tanto negativos como positivos). Pero pese a las diversas críticas, es un mecanismo utilizado alrededor del mundo como un dispositivo para la redistribución de los recursos entre la población más vulnerable, así como la generación de capital humano (especialmente en la niñez) que permita romper el ciclo de transmisión generacional de la pobreza y proveer un piso mínimo de consumo (Contreras & Maitra, 2021;Gaentzsch, 2020;Novella et al, 2021;J. Ponce, 2008).…”

This doctoral thesis is oriented to contribute to the analysis and evaluation of public policies for older people, executed by the central state in Ecuador, with special emphasis on non-contributory social protection and on people aged 65 years and over who are not covered by the social security. According that goal, it is divided in two roads. On the one hand, from a qualitative approach, the scope of public policies is analyzed, and, on the other, with a quantitative approach, the social pension of the Human Development Bonus program, focused on the population living under poverty, is evaluated.In the qualitative component, the new institutional approach, path dependence and systemic approach are used. They are applied to the analysis of the public agenda as well as the variables of quality and policy coverage. In the quantitative part, an impact evaluation is developed applying the quasi-experimental method, Propensity Score Matching. For the estimations, data from the latest survey of living conditions, carried out in Ecuador between 2013 and 2014, is used.Findings allowed us to identify that the public policies for older people are in a peripheral place in the State priorities. They are affected by an institutional ageism and a pro-poor people orientation. Institutional vision that leaves a part of the elderly out of the benefits. Also, the impact evaluation provided evidence that suggests that the social pension would not be contributing to the reduction of poverty by consumption.

The vulnerable households in the rural coastal regions of Bangladesh have been suffering from chronic poverty because of a lack of resources to invest in the human capital development, such as education and training. The unconditional cash and food (UCF) assistance programs in Bangladesh have been designed to combat chronic poverty. This study examines the impact of the UCF assistance receipt on the itemized educational spending: the total spending on education, school tiffin, educational stationery, uniforms, admission fees, examinations, textbooks, education-related Internet, and education-related transportation by the households. A Fuzzy regression discontinuity design (RDD) is used as an identification strategy, in which the assignment variable is the land ownership by the households. The RDD method is based on the idea that the households just below and above the cutoff of the assignment variable are locally randomized, therefore free from any selection bias. The results consistently show that the UCF assistance increases the spending on all educational items, except for textbooks and education-related transportation. This study suggests that the UCF assistance can be used as a policy tool to accelerate the sustainable development goal of inclusive quality education for rural coastal areas by increasing the itemized spending on education.
