“…For example, Schady & Araujo (2008) found that CCTs in Ecuador in 2003 improved enrollment in primary time. These findings are consistent with those of Chitolina, Foguel, & Menezes-Filho (2013) in Brazil and those of Dammert (2009) in Nicaragua. 28 These findings are consistent with those of CCTs that target girls.…”

This paper reviews and interprets the evidence from 223 rigorous impact evaluations of educational initiatives conducted in 56 low-and middle-income countries. We consider for inclusion in our review all studies in recent syntheses, which have reached seemingly conflicting conclusions about which interventions improve educational outcomes. We group interventions based on their theory of action. We derive four lessons from the studies we review. First, reducing the costs of going to school and expanding schooling options increase attendance and attainment, but do not consistently increase student achievement. Second, providing information about school quality, developmentally appropriate parenting practices, and the economic returns to schooling affects the actions of parents and the achievement of children and adolescents. Third, more or better resources improve student achievement only if they result in changes in children's daily experiences at school. Finally, well-designed incentives increase teacher effort and student achievement from very low levels, but low-skilled teachers need specific guidance to reach minimally acceptable levels of instruction. Interventions.We include studies of educational interventions, such as offering computer-assisted learning or altering incentives for teachers. We also include studies of health interventions, such as providing deworming drugs and iron supplements, that include at least one of the educational outcomes mentioned above. Methods.We only include studies that take advantage of exogenous variation in the receipt of the intervention, either by randomly assigning individuals to a treatment or by exploiting quasi-random variation in treatment assignment from natural experiments. Included studies based on natural experiments use differences-in-differences, regression discontinuities, and/or instrumental variables to estimate the causal impacts of interventions. We do not consider studies that attempt to estimate counterfactual outcomes either by employing matching methods or fixed effects for individuals in pre-post comparisons. Literature SearchWe searched for studies in English in peer-reviewed journals, working paper series, and academic conferences. We conducted the final search that we describe below from January to September 2015. Figure 1 offers an overview of the search and review process. 3 Citation tracking. We consulted eight reviews of impact evaluations of educational interventions in developing countries and tracked the citations. These included meta-analyses, narrative, and vote-counting reviews. 4 This search produced 253 studies, of which 119 met our inclusion criteria.

“…In Brazil, there was an expansion of the number of schools between 1996 and 2009, as well as a decline in teenage childbearing . The national conditional cash transfer programme increased school attendance among teenagers, mainly from rural areas, and decreased fertility rates among eligible girls from urban areas, within 5 years of programme implementation . Data from the US National Longitudinal Survey of Youth suggest that women who completed their education after the transition to maternity and mothers who pursued schooling were more disadvantaged, more often poor, younger, and had greater job instability, although they had higher cognitive test scores .…”

“…The Bolsa Família Program (PBF) is a federal Brazilian initiative, consisting of conditional cash transfer, aiming at poverty alleviation and reducing the intergenerational transmission of poverty (Chitolina, Foguel, & Menezes-Filho, 2016). At present, PBF stipend is granted to families classified as: (a) extremely poor, those with per capita income up to 89.00 reais (≅ 24 dollars) monthly; (b) poor, those with per capita income between 89.01 and 178.00 reais (≅ 48 dollars) monthly, provided they have children or adolescents from 0 to 17 years.…”

The Impacts of Health Care Evaluations on the Well-Being of Low-incomers

et al. 2019

There is a strong call for marketing research that looks at the impacts of goods and services on consumer well-being, which gains greater momentum when it comes to low-income people (Bottom of the Pyramid). This article articulates a Conceptual Model of the relations among evaluations of health care services and the well-being of the client, that arises from an adaptation of the best of the models compared by Brady et al. (2005). A sample of low-income patients, leaving care public health units in the city of São Paulo, was gathered. The structural equations modeling supported the hypotheses that link Perceived Quality and Perceived Value, Perceived Quality and Satisfaction, Satisfaction and Individual Well-being. Expressive 35.1% of the Individual Welfare variance are explained by the Model. A positive (instead of negative) the classic conception. These empirical findings are confronted with the literature. Finally, scientific, managerial, and political implications are exposed. JEL Code: I3, I14, D31.
