The number of studies examining the effects cash transfer (CT) programs on Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) has rapidly grown over last decade. Depending how violence is modelled, CTs could either increase, decrease or have an ambiguous effect violence. This paper provides a survey theoretical and quantitative empirical literature IPV. We place existing theories in context overarching model household bargaining. then review evidence for low- middle-income countries. bulk suggests that are...

We both girls boys early, differential experience marrying older versus young boys....
Conditional cash transfers (CCTs) aim to increase human capital in poor families. They do this directly through conditions but may also influence household decision-making other ways. Using a regression discontinuity design, we test whether large CCT program affects discounting choices and aspirations for children's education. A greater willingness defer consumption desire invest education result from habits formed during the program, information received, or by relaxation of budget...

Although it is well established that women's labour force participation drops markedly with marriage and childbearing, surprisingly little known about market transitions, especially in developing countries. This paper uses the Indonesian Family Life Survey to track employment histories of over 9,000 women across a period more than 20 years, observing them as they get married have children. The data show large numbers drop out result childbearing. difficulty maintaining formal sector emerges...
