“…Raising awareness has been shown to increase participation in government programs in Latin America (Brandt, 2012, Larrañaga et al, 2012). Among the population we study, Reyes-García, Vadez, Aragon, Huanca, and Jagger (2010) show that the Tsimane’ have limited awareness of the Bolivian government’s decentralization reform, so one could argue that low awareness also explains Tsimane’ lower participation in the CCT program.…”

“…the World Bank, the Inter-American Development Bank), Latin American governments have also devoted some effort to improving active labour market policies, such as employment programmes that incorporate a vocational training component, labour market intermediation services, employment subsidies, and conditional cash transfer programmes to help beneficiaries participate in the labour force. Unfortunately, the literature that evaluates such programmes indicates that they have had very little positive impact(Larrañaga Commission, 2011;Crespo, 2014;Larrañaga, Contreras and Ruiz-Tagle, 2012;Marshall, 2004).…”
