Valeria Groppo will give a virtual presentation in the WIDER Seminar Series on 20 January
to discuss the impact of the United Republic of Tanzania’s Productive Social Safety Net
(PSSN) on child work and education.
The programme provides to extremely poor households cash transfers that are partly
conditional on their use of health and education services, along with a public works
component that guarantees 15 days of paid work per month for up to four months.
The research found the programme improved child education outcomes. These findings were
echoed in the qualitative data – participants referred to working on family farms as being
both safer for children and more beneficial for the family.
