Abstract

Los programas de transferencias condicionadas (ptc), como el Oportunidades de México, se enfocan en tres componentes básicos, a saber: educación, salud y alimentación. En relación con el primero, una de sus finalidades es reducir el ausentismo escolar, el cual se genera en contextos de pobreza por el empleo infantil; por tal motivo, el recurso económico que otorga el Programa busca aumentar la asistencia escolar. En este estudio se evaluó el impacto del Programa en la disminución de inasistencia a la escuela, utilizando un Propensity Score Matching. Los resultados muestran que el Programa no generó impactos sobre el ausentismo en la escuela, pues desde antes de su intervención los indicadores escolares eran altos en las zonas urbanas estudiadas.
