摘要
长久以来,大量文献重点讨论了公共转移支付的短期减贫效应,而忽视了对贫困家庭子代人力资本形成的影响。借助中国家庭追踪调查(CFPS)2012年数据,本文采用倾向得分匹配方法(PSM),检验最低生活保障制度对贫困家庭儿童人力资本的影响。研究发现,低保政策能够显著提升贫困家庭儿童人力资本。分组样本的讨论表明,低保政策的作用对城市贫困家庭和父母受教育程度较高的贫困家庭更为明显。进一步的机制分析显示,低保政策对贫困家庭儿童人力资本的提升作用主要源于家庭教育物质投入的增加及良好家庭教养方式的建立。此外,较低的瞄准效率和偏低的救助水平会限制低保政策对贫困家庭儿童人力资本的促进作用。由此,政府应重视进一步提高低保政策的瞄准效率和适度提高补助标准,并合理设定最低生活保障等公共转移支付的受益条件,以有效提升贫困家庭子代人力资本。
For a long time,a large amount of literature has focused on the short-term poverty reduction effects of public transfers,while ignoring its impact on the formation of the human capital of offsprings from poor families.Based on the 2012 data from the China Family Panel Survey(CFPS),this paper uses the propensity score matching method(PSM)to examine the impact of the minimum living standard guarantee program(Dibao)on the schooling outcomes of children in poor families.The results indicate that the Dibao program has significantly improved the human capital of children from poor families.The results of the sub-sample show that the effect of the Dibao program is more obvious for urban poor families and poor families with highly educated parents.Further analysis of the mechanism shows that the improvement of human capital of children from poor families is mainly due to that the Dibao program makes poor families put more money into their offsprings’education,and are conducive to establishing good family parenting style.In addition,low targeting efficiency and low level of assistance will limit the promotion effect of the Dibao program on the human capital of children from poor families.Therefore,the government should pay more attention to further improve the targeting efficiency of Dibao program and moderately improve the subsidy standards,and rationally set the acquisition condition of public transfers such as Dibao program,and thus effectively promote the formation of human capital for children from poor families.
