Abstract in Inglish Version

This paper studies participation in social programs in Peru using data from two programs: Vaso de Leche and Social Insurance for the poor. The paper analyzes how a household's previous participation affects their current participation and links entry and exit probabilities to household income and social spending. The study finds that while household income relative to the poverty line explains variations in entry and exit rates, changes in social spending have little impact on a household's participation. This finding allows recommendations for improving the design and management of the programs.

This paper studies the determinants of social program participation in Peru, using data
of two well-known programs: Vaso de Leche (³glass of milk´) and Social Insurance for
the poor. The emphasis is on the dynamics of such decisions as participation in a given
period is likely to depend on whether a household was previously participating. Thus,
we
are able to link entry and exit probabilities with two key determinants from a pol icy
perspective: household income and social expenditure. It is found that while household
income (relative to the Poverty Line) is relevant in explaining variations in the entry and
exit rates, changes in social expenditure have little impact (if any) in the household¶s
participation. This finding enables us to propose policy recommendations aimed at
improving the design and management of the aforementioned programs. c
