This chapter examines how the dismantling of Mexico’s conditional cash transfer program reshaped social assistance and policy feedback among low-income women. For over two decades, the CCT (most recently Prospera) combined income support with education, health, and nutrition components and was internationally recognized as a successful social investment program. Yet in 2019 it was replaced by Benito Juárez education scholarships with lower density and intensity: health and nutrition instruments were eliminated, benefits were simplified and reduced, and implementation capacity was weakened through the removal of local implementers and beneficiary representatives. Using a historical institutionalist lens and policy feedback theory and drawing on a focus group with former CCT beneficiaries whose children now receive scholarships, the chapter shows how self-reinforcing and self-undermining feedback mechanisms generated “policy apathy” that enabled dismantling. It also reveals that the new scholarships, while easing burdensome conditionalities and reducing community conflict, reproduce self-undermining feedback, leaving households worse off and social assistance more vulnerable to future retrenchment.
