Abstract
Reviews some of the issues that arise in the consideration of conditional cash transfer (CCT) programmes in the fight against child labour. It draws on the documented experiences of such programmes which have proliferated in Latin America, although some operate in other regions as well. The focus is on conditional cash transfer programmes but reference is also made to similar social assistance programmes, notably unconditional transfer programmes and in-kind transfer programmes (food for education or school feeding programmes), although only in a comparative context.
