Abstract
BACKGROUND
Mental health and poverty are strongly interlinked. There is a gap in the literature on the effects of poverty alleviation programmes on mental health. We aim to fill this gap by studying the effect of an exogenous income shock generated by the Child Support Grant, South Africa's largest Unconditional Cash Transfer (UCT) programme, on mental health.
METHODS
We use biennial data on 10,925 individuals from the National Income Dynamics Study between 2008 and 2014. We exploit the programme's eligibility criteria to estimate instrumental variable Fixed Effects models.
RESULTS
We find that receiving the Child Support Grant improves adult mental health by 0.822 points (on a 0-30 scale), 4.1% of the sample mean.
CONCLUSION
Our findings show that UCT programmes have strong mental health benefits for the poor adult population.
摘要
背景
心理健康和贫困密切相关。关于扶贫计划对心理健康影响的文献存在空白。我们旨在通过研究南非最大的无条件现金转移支付（UCT）计划——儿童抚养费补贴所产生的外生收入冲击对心理健康的影响来填补这一空白。
方法
我们使用 2008 年至 2014 年期间全国收入动态研究中关于 10925 个人的两年期数据。我们利用该计划的资格标准来估计工具变量固定效应模型。
结果
我们发现，获得儿童抚养费补贴使成年人的心理健康状况提高了 0.822 分（在 0-30 的范围内），占样本平均值的 4.1%。
结论
我们的研究结果表明，UCT 计划对贫困成年人口的心理健康有很强的益处。
