Children's Health Opportunities and Project Evaluation : Mexico's Oportunidades Program
This paper proposes a methodology to evaluate social projects from the perspective of children's opportunities on the basis of the effects of these projects on the distribution of outcomes. The evaluation is conditioned on characteristics for which individuals are not responsible; in this case, parental education level and indigenous background. The methodology is applied to evaluate the effects on children's health opportunities of Mexico's Oportunidades program, one of the largest conditional cash transfer programs for poor households in the world. The evidence from this program shows that gains in health opportunities for children from indigenous backgrounds are substantial and are situated in crucial parts of the distribution, whereas gains for children from nonindigenous backgrounds are more limited.

This paper proposes a methodology to
evaluate social projects from the perspective of
children's opportunities on the basis of the effects of
these projects on the distribution of outcomes. The
evaluation is conditioned on characteristics for which
individuals are not responsible; in this case, parental
education level and indigenous background. The methodology
is applied to evaluate the effects on children's health
opportunities of Mexico's Oportunidades program, one of
the largest conditional cash transfer programs for poor
households in the world. The evidence from this program
shows that gains in health opportunities for children from
indigenous backgrounds are substantial and are situated in
crucial parts of the distribution, whereas gains for
children from nonindigenous backgrounds are more limited. |
