Abstract: Presents information about opportunity cost of attendance to school, touching on issues of the proper dimensioning of cash subsidies, the adequacy of the conditionality and operational issues associated with conditional cash transfer (CCT) programs. It then analyzes the challenge of increasing school enrollment in urban areas using a dynamic model that accounts for labor opportunities of young people in these areas.
