本研究考察了现金转移的条件性对不平等的影响，以减轻当前的贫困并减少其代际传递。我们考虑了一个具有内生生育率的重叠代模型，其中贫困家庭面临着上学和童工之间的权衡。我们表明，如果童工的相对工资高，增加条件会导致生育差异增加。在比较有条件现金转移支付计划和无条件现金转移支付计划时，我们的数值分析表明，有条件现金转移支付计划在短期内促进了摆脱贫困陷阱，但它可能通过提高低收入群体的生育率而加剧整体收入不平等。
This study examines the effects of conditionality in cash transfers on inequality to alleviate current poverty and reduce its intergenerational transmission. We consider an overlapping generations model with endogenous fertility, where poor households face a trade-off between schooling and child labor. We show that adding conditionality induces a fertility differential increase if the relative wages for child labor are high. When comparing conditional cash transfer programs and unconditional cash transfer programs, our numerical analysis suggests that conditional cash transfer programs promote a take-off from a poverty trap in the short run, but it may worsen income inequality as a whole by increasing the fertility rate of low-income groups.
