Abstract
Abstract This chapter explores how family norms are reproduced by conditional cash transfers and their COVID-19 expansions in Latin America and the Caribbean. It highlights the need to look beyond conditionalities as the main design feature for influencing behavior, as they are not the primary tools that reproduce family norms in the region. Rather, these norms are reflected in other aspects of program design, namely caps on the number of children for whom cash transfers increase, and the prioritization of women as benefit recipients. Case studies from Argentina and Brazil show how family norms play a role in program design both implicitly and explicitly. In Argentina, a lack of political resistance to stereotypes about poor families let such stereotypes influence the design of the Asignación Universal por Hijo. During the pandemic, the urgency to implement Brazil’s Auxílio Emergencial and evidence about lone parenthood contributed to the initial prioritization of single mothers over fathers.
