Resumen
Social programs emerge as a response of a government seeking to improve
the welfare of its population living in extreme poverty; knowing the perception of
beneficiaries will prove the efficiency of their application. In this article, we test
the impact of social programs on the subjective economic well-being of families in
the Junin region of Peru. The data were extracted from the results of the ENAHO
(National Household Survey) between the years 2012 and 2019. For the empirical
strategy, we used a binary choice model, specifically a logistic regression. The find-
ings show that the “Juntos” and “Pension 65” social programs do not generate a posi-
tive impact on the subjective economic well-being of beneficiary families, making
this analysis an outlier to what theory adduces. The management of public policies
in the Peruvian case lacks information that does not allow us to know exactly what
the needs and demands of the population are, or these are ignored by policymakers.
