Ecuador's conditional cash transfer program, Bono de Desarrollo Humano (BDH), reaches more than 400,000 households with children, providing economic assistance to these families. Even though there are no official results of the program regarding how many people left poverty due to the BDH, national social indicators show that coverage of basic education has expanded, while child labor has increased at the national level, especially in rural areas where child labor is more severe, suggesting that these children are at risk of living in poverty as adults. Even though data show improvement in school enrollment and infant mortality, the BDH program should engage parents and educate them to raise their children, emphasizing that the main purpose of the program is focused on children's well-being. Also, there is a need to create sustainable programs to allow BDH beneficiaries to exit the program and foster upward mobility by creating labor opportunities in the formal sector. Although there have been improvements in the program such as additional services, and larger coverage of the vulnerable population, the BDH still has some flaws. Like other conditional cash transfers in the region, the BDH has become one of the government's flagship poverty-alleviation programs. However, the program needs to include an evaluation process of its results.

厄瓜多尔有条件现金转移“Bono de Desarrollo Humano”对儿童幸福感的影响

厄瓜多尔的有条件现金转移计划 Bono de Desarrollo Humano (BDH) 惠及超过 400,000 户有孩子的家庭，为这些家庭提供经济援助。尽管该计划没有关于有多少人因 BDH 脱贫的官方结果，但国家社会指标显示，基础教育的覆盖面有所扩大，而童工在全国范围内有所增加，尤其是在存在童工的农村地区。更严重，表明这些儿童成年后有生活在贫困中的风险。尽管数据显示入学率和婴儿死亡率有所改善，但 BDH 计划应该让父母参与并教育他们抚养孩子，强调该计划的主要目的是关注儿童的福祉。还，需要制定可持续的计划，允许 BDH 受益人退出计划并通过在正规部门创造劳动力机会来促进向上流动。尽管该计划有所改进，例如附加服务和扩大弱势群体的覆盖范围，但 BDH 仍然存在一些缺陷。与该地区的其他有条件现金转移支付一样，BDH 已成为政府的旗舰扶贫项目之一。但是，该计划需要包括对其结果的评估过程。与该地区的其他有条件现金转移支付一样，BDH 已成为政府的旗舰扶贫项目之一。但是，该计划需要包括对其结果的评估过程。与该地区的其他有条件现金转移支付一样，BDH 已成为政府的旗舰扶贫项目之一。但是，该计划需要包括对其结果的评估过程。
