Abstract

Este trabajo evalúa el impacto del Programa Vivienda Gratuita (PVG) sobre las condiciones de vida, de bienestar y de habitabilidad de los hogares beneficiados. Este programa es una iniciativa del Gobierno colombiano para entregar gratuitamente viviendas nuevas a los hogares más vulnerables del país. Para estimar impactos del programa de manera causal, el presente trabajo aprovecha que el 38% de los beneficiarios del programa fueron seleccionados mediante sorteos de vivienda. Los resultados de este trabajo evidencian que la mayoría de los beneficiarios residen actualmente en viviendas entregadas en el programa, las cuales cuentan con condiciones adecuadas de estructura, espacio y acceso a servicios públicos. Asimismo, se encuentra que los beneficiarios del programa mejoraron sus condiciones laborales, ya sea mediante una mayor participación laboral (en las mujeres), cambiar el tipo de trabajo realizado (en los hombres) o devengar más ingresos (en ambos). A raíz de los impactos anteriores, los hogares beneficiarios pudieron reestructuras sus gastos, adquirir bienes durables e incluso ahorrar más. Por último, y debido a lo anterior, se encuentran que los hogares poseen una probabilidad menor de ser pobres. El principal mecanismo que explica estos resultados radica en que los beneficiarios del programa se relocalizaron en lugares donde existe una mayor provisión de bienes públicos, más cercanía a servicios complementarios, así como una mayor actividad económica.
