Abstract

Los programas de microfinanzas, a la vez que estrategia para reducir la pobreza, pueden tener efecto en el desempeño escolar de los hijos de sus clientes. Este trabajo utiliza datos de tres encuestas realizadas a hogares clientes de organizaciones microfinancieras en Bolivia, para examinar diferentes canales mediante los cuales éstas pueden generar impacto en la escolaridad. Se identifican cinco canales o efectos: ingreso, manejo de riesgo, demanda por trabajo infantil, género e información. Los resultados desafían los supuestos usuales acerca de los programas de microfinanzas. En particular, para algunos hogares, el acceso a crédito tiene efectos conflictivos con la permanencia de los niños en el sistema educativo, ya que, aunque incrementa la demanda por educación como resultado de los efectos ingreso, manejo de riesgo, género e información, hogares que ganan acceso a microfinanzas descubren nuevas demandas por trabajo infantil. De estos resultados paradójicos se derivan significativas consecuencias de política.
