Abstract

Este documento intenta identificar los efectos del programa de empleo temporal más exhaustivo implementado en Bolivia, el Plan Nacional de Empleo de Emergencia (PLANE), sobre la ingesta calórica per cápita y perspectivas futuras de empleo y salarios. Utilizando métodos de estimación e inferencia que asumen ausencia de factores de confusión, encontramos que el PLANE fue exitoso como un esquema de estabilización de consumo - incrementa la ingesta calórica per cápita en los hogares donde al menos un miembro ha participado en el programa, pero no tuvo ningún efecto ni en las probabilidades de empleo post-programa ni en los salarios post-programa. Esta evidencia sugiere que, a pesar de que los programas de empleo públicos pueden ser útiles como políticas de protección social en tiempos de recesión -estos ayudan a estabilizar el consumo de los hogares pobres con jefes de hogar no calificados; no son buenas alternativas para mejorar la empleabilidad de las poblaciones vulnerables.
