It is found that in 2017, the combined effect of non-contributory social protection programmes reduced simple regional averages for poverty by 2.0 percentage points and for extreme poverty by 1.7 percentage points, equivalent to relative decreases of 11.8% and 25.9%, respectively. It is also observed that surveys tend to capture fewer recipients of non-contributory transfers than administrative records. This undercapturing, as calculated for Brazil, may lead to underestimation of the impact of programmes, especially on indicators of severity and depth of poverty. 2021-12-01T23:16:34Z 2021-12-01T23:16:34Z 2021-08-31 Texto Sección o Parte de un Documento https://hdl.handle.net/11362/47520 LC/PUB.2021/13-P 1 en CEPAL Review CEPAL Review 134 .pdf application/pdf AMERICA LATINA LATIN AMERICA
