Explanation:

More than 80 countries have public income transfer policies for young people from underprivileged families, such as Bolsa Família in Brazil. Here and there, it is a benefit that has been generating heated debates between advocates and critics since the first experiences of its kind in the 1990s. One doubt is that there is little evidence of the effect on adulthood of those who received the benefit. of income transfer as a child. A study by economists at the universities of Maryland and Princeton in the United States shows that there are positive impacts, yes. The researchers analyzed the school record of residents of 2.9 million households benefiting from Progresa, one of the first programs of its kind, set up in Mexico in 1997 to provide funding to underprivileged young people up to 13 years old. The study compared the school performance of Mexicans born before 1984 - and who, therefore, were past the age of entering Progresa - with those of young people who had access to public policy. The result: Three decades later, the average education of Mexicans born from 1986 onwards and benefited by Progresa is up to two years longer than young people who have not received funds from the program. In 2014, the World Bank calculated, collating data from 139 countries over four decades, that each year more in formal education increases future worker income by 10 percent.
