Abstract

Many countries in the developing world have implemented old-age pensions. Evidence of the impact of such policies on the elderly in sub-Saharan Africa, however, is scarce. We provide evidence from a randomised evaluation of an unconditional old-age pension targeted at the elderly in Ekiti State, Nigeria. Our findings show that treated beneficiaries self-report better quality of life and a more stable mental health. We also provide evidence of spillover effects on the labor outcomes of other household members and of household savings patterns as well as support for interventions aimed at improving the welfare of elderly poor citizens and other household members.

养老金的福利效应:尼日利亚埃基蒂州的实验证据

发展中国家的许多国家都实行了养老金制度。然而，很少有证据表明这些政策对撒哈拉以南非洲的老年人产生了影响。我们提供了尼日利亚埃基提州针对老年人的无条件养老金的随机评估证据。我们的研究结果表明，接受治疗的受益人自我报告了更好的生活质量和更稳定的心理健康。我们还提供了对其他家庭成员的劳动成果和家庭储蓄模式的溢出效应的证据，以及对旨在改善老年贫困公民和其他家庭成员福利的干预措施的支持。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
