Olga Khazan, "The Case for Unconditional Handouts to the Poor"
(Craig Axford)
In this article in The Atlantic, Olga Khazan
points to recent research coming out of Morocco that demonstrates
unconditional handouts to those in need leads to better outcomes
than conditional handouts. Many fail to enrol in conditional
programs at all, fearing they may not be able to meet the
requirements, while those receiving unconditional support have no
such concerns. Unconditional programs also come with fewer
administrative burdens saving both time and resources.
