Resumen

El uso del bienestar como indicador para monitorear el estado de las sociedades es cada vez más común a nivel internacional; a pesar de esto, la evaluación de políticas públicas generalmente se enfoca en resultados más inmediatos y materiales. Este artículo, en cambio, utiliza un enfoque multidimensional de bienestar para evaluar los impactos del programa de transferencias monetarias condicionadas (tmc) de México, Prospera. Los hallazgos de este estudio cualitativo revelan efectos contradictorios y no intencionados de la transferencia monetaria y las condicionalidades del programa en el bienestar de las familias beneficiarias en áreas como confianza económica, relaciones personales, sentido de competencia, autoestima, agencia, entre otros. Estos resultados subrayan la importancia de tomar en cuenta el bienestar a la hora de diseñar, implementar y evaluar tmc y políticas sociales en general.
