Does Transferring Cash to Women Improve Household Well-Being?
RAND Europe is undertaking a systematic review for the UK Department for International Development to assess the evidence on whether transferring cash to women rather than men in low- and middle-income countries has a greater impact on household well-being.
Many cash transfer programmes designate women and mothers as transfer recipients, on the assumption that doing so will lead to better outcomes. This study explores the specific evidence base comparing how outcomes differ between male and female recipients.
RAND Europe is synthesising the evidence on this particular question to contribute to a stronger evidence base for designing cash transfer programmes.
