Providing Pensions for the Poor: Targeting Cash Transfers for the Elderly in Mexico Harvard Case Solution & Analysis

At the time when Mexican Congress gave consent to the nation's 2007 budget, it comprised an appropriation of 8.5 billion pesos allocated to supply non-contributive pensions to senior citizens. President Felipe Calderon needed to introduce qualifications standards that will ensure the new federally-funded pensions would go to poor seniors that will otherwise lack the means to support themselves.

This case sets the reader in the shoes of Calderon's advisor, asking them to evaluate which choice that is targeting would be best for the Mexican authorities, taking into account a broad selection of criteria including targeting administrative feasibility, fiscal feasibility, political viability, and efficacy. The case gives a simple description of previous efforts to target the poor in Mexican social programs and information to assess three possible alternatives that are targeting. Case Number 2011.0
