英文文献摘要:
Educational inequality is one of the most prevalent problems faced by developing countries. The group that faces the biggest gap in terms of access to education is adolescents aged 16-18 years. This paper analyses a sample of 16-18 year olds to investigate the impact of the Indonesian's Conditional Cash Transfer, Bantuan Siswa Miskin (BSM), on recipients and their non-recipient siblings. The findings suggest that the BSM increases the schooling of the recipients. However, there is no significant impact on the non-recipient siblings' schooling. Further, the program succeeds in significantly reducing the incidence of child labour for recipient and non-recipient girls, with no such impact evident for boys.
