Human Capital versus Basic Income: Ideology and Models for AntiPoverty Programs in Latin America,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Latin America underwent two major transformations during the 2000s: the widespread election of leftleaning presidents (the socalled left turn) and the diffusion of conditional cash transfer programs (CCTs)innovative social programs that award regular stipends to poor families on the condition that their children attend school. Combining crossnational quantitative research covering the entire region and indepth case studies based on field research, Human Capital versus Basic Income: Ideology and Models for AntiPoverty Programs in Latin America challenges the conventional wisdom that these two transformations were unrelated. In this book, author Fabin A. Borges demonstrates that this ideology greatly influenced both the adoption and design of CCTs.There were two distinct models of CCTs: a human capital model based on meanstested targeting and strict enforcement of program conditions, exemplified by the program launched by Mexicos right, and a more universalistic basic income model with more permissive enforcement of conditionality, exemplified by Brazils program under Lula. These two models then spread across the region. Whereas right and center governments, with assistance from international financial institutions, enacted CCTs based on the human capital model, the left, with assistance from Brazil, enacted CCTs based on the basic income model.The existence of two distinct types of CCTs and their relation to ideology is supported by quantitative analyses covering the entire region and indepth case studies based on field research in three countries. Leftwing governments operate CCTs that cover more people and spend more on those programs than their center or rightwing counterparts. Beyond coverage, a subsequent analysis of the 10 national programs adopted after Lulas embrace of CCTs confirms that program designevaluated in terms of scope of the target population, strictness of conditionality enforcement, and stipend structureis shaped by government ideology. This finding is then fleshed out through case studies of the political processes that culminated in the adoption of basic income CCTs by leftwing governments in Argentina and Bolivia and a human capital CCT by a centrist president in Costa Rica.
