Abstract

El objetivo de este artículo es examinar el impacto del programa de transferencias condicionadas denominado Asignación Universal por Hijo (AUH), implementado en la Argentina desde 2009, en la deserción escolar adolescente. Además se analiza si su efecto en esta variable responde a su impacto en la tasa de ocupación juvenil y en el ingreso familiar per cápita, utilizando una base de datos novedosa: la Encuesta Nacional de Gasto de los Hogares del 2012/2013. Para ello se aplica el método propensity score matching. Los resultados sugieren que la AUH redujo la tasa de deserción escolar entre los adolescentes beneficiarios. ***** The aim of this article is to examine the impact of the conditional cash transfer program called Universal Allocation per Child (UAC), implemented in Argentina in 2009, on school dropout rates among adolescents. In addition, we analyze whether its effect on this variable responds to its impact on the youth employment rate and household income per capita, using a new data base: the National Survey of Household Spending 2012/2013. To do this this, the propensity score matching method is implemented. The results suggest that the UAC reduced the dropout rate among adolescent beneficiaries.
