Abstract

Educational inequality is one of the most prevalent problems faced by developing countries. The group that faces the biggest gap in terms of access to education is adolescents aged 16-18 years. This paper analyses a sample of 16-18 year olds to investigate the impact of the Indonesian's Conditional Cash Transfer, Bantuan Siswa Miskin (BSM), on recipients and their non-recipient siblings. The findings suggest that the BSM increases the schooling of the recipients. However, there is no significant impact on the non-recipient siblings' schooling. Further, the program succeeds in significantly reducing the incidence of child labour for recipient and non-recipient girls, with no such impact evident for boys.
