Discussions about conditional cash transfers have been growing ever since the decade of 1990. Since the creation of the first conditional cash transfer programme called Progresa, implemented in Mexico, there have been studies aiming to evaluate the effects of such programmes on their participants. This research contributes to the literature by presenting the state of the art of research on conditional cash transfers, identifying trends and patterns on the development of knowledge on this area through the use of bibliometric analysis, something that hasn’t been explored in this literature. The results show that this literature has been and continues to grow as new programmes continue to be implemented throughout the world. We have noted that there is a preponderance of articles that are written by multiple authors and that the most common keyword to identify articles has been “poverty”. In this paper we have identified the main articles, authors, countries and sources in the area.
