Abstract

'Patria Grande' program in Argentina provides for a provisional residence permit for undocumented immigrants that allow them to work, study, leave and re-entry the country. This may encourage a higher participation in the formal sector and a higher access to social services respect to the counterfactual situation in the absence of the program. In this paper, we estimate these effects by comparing over time eligible immigrants with a similar but not eligible group (local migrants, who recently moved from his hometown). The results suggest the program has helped to reduce informality in 13% by increasing the coverage of social security contributions and health insurance benefits. It has also improved the access to education for immigrants in 7.5%
