摘要

关于针对贫困的有条件现金转移支付（cct）能否成为减少童婚的有效工具，经验证据有限。采用模糊回归不连续设计，使用与印尼政府贫困人口普查和目标数据库相匹配的行政推广数据，我们估计该国的旗舰CCT （PKH）将印度尼西亚农村女孩的童婚率降低了约3.5个百分点（约40%）。我们的结论是，有条件现金援助可能有助于打破持续存在的童婚现象。

Reducing child marriages through CCTs: Evidence from a large-scale policy intervention in Indonesia

There is limited empirical evidence on whether poverty-targeted conditional cash transfers (CCTs) can be an effective tool in reducing child marriages. Employing a Fuzzy Regression Discontinuity design that uses administrative roll-out data matched to the government’s poverty census and targeting database in Indonesia, we estimate that the country’s flagship CCT (PKH) reduced child marriages of girls in rural Indonesia by about 3.5 percentage points (about 40 percent). We conclude that CCTs may help break the persistent practice of child marriages.
