Informality and pension reforms in Bolivia: The case of Renta Dignida

No wp-2021-110, WIDER Working Paper Series from World Institute for Development Economic Research (UNU-WIDER)

Abstract: How social protection programmes affect work choices is a question that has been at the centre of labour economics research for decades. More recently, a scant literature has focused on the effects of social protection on work choices and informal employment in the context of low- and middle-income countries. This paper contributes to this scant literature by examining the effect of Bolivia's Renta Dignidad , a universal non-contributory old-age pension that covers all Bolivians aged 60 years and older.
