Quick info
Data type Numeric
Scale Multinomial
Value labels 0 = "No", 1 = "Yes"

Label Behavioral conditions in the child benefit for citizens/residents.
Related indicators NA (no information available)

The indicator identifies whether behavioral conditions are applicable in order for a parent or caregiver to be eligible for the child benefit available for citizens/residents of a country.

In most countries where behavioral conditions apply, eligibility for the child benefit is conditional on school attendance.

Across many countries in the Global South, there is variation in the behavioral conditions that are applicable for programs known as conditional cash transfers (CCTs). These are child benefits available for citizens/residents without contributions from employment that contain where eligibility is based on any type of behavioral condition (fam_cben_citres_cond). The dataset aims to capture this variation through the coding of multiple behavioral conditions which may apply in a certain country. Eligibility for a transfer may be based on one or a combination of the following: school enrolment and/or attendance (fam_cben_citres_cond_educ), attendance at health appointments (fam_cben_citres_cond_health), nutritional requirements (fam_cben_citres_cond_nutri), immunization (fam_cben_citres_cond_vaccin) or attendance at trainings, meetings, activities or another form of social participation (fam_cben_citres_cond_particip).


Coding rules

The variable assumes the value of 1 if eligibility for the child benefit for citizens/residents is based on behavioral conditions and 0 if otherwise, as indicated in the relevant law or program description.


Missing information is coded as follows:

  • -999 = No information available: Data was unavailable or could not be found.
  • -888 = Policy does not exist: Data was not collected due to knowledge that the policy either does not exist or has been discontinued.
  • -777 = Not applicable: Data was not collected because it was not relevant for this specific country or child benefit system.
