A Regional Citizen’s Income to Reduce Poverty in Central America

Alice Krozer and Rubén Lo Vuolo

Chapter Chapter 5 in Citizen’s Income and Welfare Regimes in Latin America, 2013, pp 113-137 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Citizen’s Income (CI) has many different, relevant facets, depending on contextual circumstances, implementation procedures, objectives, levels of transfer, sources of finance, focus granted, etc. Two important and interconnected aspects of this policy proposal, which are particularly worthwhile in the Latin American context, are its potential to reduce poverty, especially in its extreme forms, and the opportunities it offers in terms of regional coordination of public policies.
