Abstract: This article is a literature review on the economic impacts of non-contributory social protection programs implemented as cash transfers. It provides an overview of theoretical and empirical knowledge on the economic effects of these programs. Relevant literature was collected from academic sources such as Google Scholar, Elsevier, and PubMed, using keywords such as: Non-contributory Social Protection, Cash Transfers, Economic Growth, Economic Impacts. The review highlights the existence of economic impacts of non-contributory social protection at three levels: micro, meso, and macro, through the use of various methods ranging from experimental to econometric approaches. The effects of cash transfers on the economy also manifest through a wide range of channels, including human capital development, easing credit constraints, increased security and certainty, improved household resource allocation, and increased aggregate demand. The findings of this review can be applied in specific contexts to enhance the economic impacts of cash transfers and to identify the most suitable approaches to improve the economic situation of different countries.
