World Bank study says giving cash is a more efficient way to ensure social security

Last week the government’s chief economic advisor Arvind Subramanian described the direct benefit transfer scheme as a “game changer”. The Pahal scheme, under which cooking gas consumers receive subsidy in their bank accounts, is one of the ways the government is trying to improve the efficiency of its welfare programmes using the so-called the JAM trinity (Jan Dhan, Aadhar and mobile phones).

Such cash transfer schemes receive a leg-up from a recent World Bank study which says that such programmes are a more efficient way of providing social safety in comparison to other methods.

Across the world, the share of cash transfers, both unconditional and conditional, have increased. While the share of such programmes increases with the income level of countries, the World Bank has also highlighted the rapid improvement in the number of African countries with unconditional cash transfers, which doubled from 20 to 40 between 2010 and 2014. The number of countries providing conditional cash transfers increased to 64 from a paltry two between 1998 and 2014.
