Example: Children Recommendation 1: Expand CCT program Scenarios: 1.CCT to all poor households (not only very poor households) in all provinces at current level of benefits 2.CCT to all poor households + increased benefit for children from 13 to 15 years Recommendation 3: Explore and calculate the cost of a universal child benefit program Scenarios: 1.Child benefit for all children at certain benefit level

Example: Working Age Recommendation 1: Public Employment Program linked with skills development for workers in the informal economy Scenario: 1.Establishment of a public works guarantee linked with vocational training: 30 days of work per person per year + 10 days of training every five years

Example: Elderly & People with Disability Recommendation 1: Extension of non-contributory minimum pension for the elderly and people with severe disabilities.
