ABSTRACT The conditional cash transfer programme in India, the Janani Suraksha Yojana JSY), was introduced in 2005 to encourage women to give birth at health institutions. The JSY targeted women of disadvantaged socio-economic status. In November 2006, along with increased cash incentive, eligibility was expanded in ten low-performing states to all the women. However, this expansion could potentially have contributed to steepening the pro-rich gradients of healthcare utilisation. This paper estimates the impacts of this policy reform and shows that while the policy reform increases maternal healthcare use, it does not show impacts more favourable for women with advantageous socio-economic backgrounds.

有条件现金转移的资格扩大后，是否会改善印度社会经济处于不利地位的母亲的医疗保健使用率？

摘要印度于2005年引入了有条件的现金转移计划，即Janani Suraksha Yojana（JSY），以鼓励妇女在卫生机构中分娩。联合养恤金针对社会经济地位处于不利地位的妇女。2006年11月，随着现金奖励措施的增加，在十个表现欠佳的州，所有妇女的资格都有所扩大。但是，这种扩展可能潜在地加剧了医疗保健利用的亲富梯度。本文估计了这项政策改革的影响，并表明，尽管该政策改革增加了孕产妇保健的使用，但并未显示出对具有良好社会经济背景的妇女更有利的影响。
