Poverty is a multidimensional phenomenon that become a major challenge in all countries. To reduce poverty and increase community welfare, government intervention programs are needed. One of them is through the provision of cash assistance. The Conditional Cash Transfer program has been widely implemented in some countries. In Indonesia, this program is called the Family Hope Program (PKH). This cash transfer program has a lot of debate as an anti-poverty program. This research wants to see the impact of PKH on reducing poverty and increasing welfare in Indonesia. It used raw data from Susenas and analyzed by SEM-PLS method.

“…Parijs & Vanderborght (2017) state that the scheme of CCT program only relies on welfare without regard to sustainable economic rights. Other research also states that the program does not have a significant impact in reducing poverty, especially for those who live in rural areas (Musa et al, 2019).…”

“…Meanwhile, CCT program still has a number of deficiencies, for example, there has been no significant changes in behavior and socio-economic conditions from the beneficiaries (Suradi et al, 2020).

Purpose The upsurge in global youth migration remains a major concern for policymakers, politicians and academia at large. Given the emerging interests in youth migration and informal jobs in cities around the world, this study aims to establish the barriers limiting the transition of migrant youths, in informal settings, into formal jobs and the consequent impact on their livelihood. Design/methodology/approach Leveraging the push-pull approach of the functionalist migration school, this study uses a primary research design. A structured questionnaire was administered among 150 migrant youths who were selected across informal settings in Lagos, using a convenient sampling technique. Then, a structured face-to-face interview was later conducted among 40 selected migrant youths. Findings There is a skill mismatch between the competence of the youths and the requirements of firms in the formal sector, and the migrant youths are largely disenfranchised from opportunities that flow within certain networks. Another critical constraint includes language barrier, ethnicity and religious biases by certain employers. Most migrant youths are economically better off compared to where they came from, even though they are yet to exit the poverty trap. Originality/value This study critically examined the challenges faced by the migrant youth population in Lagos, Nigeria, in their bid to transition from informal employment to formal employment.
