Vouchers are a form of social welfare that blend elements of in-kind benefits (where specific goods or services are provided) and cash assistance (where recipients receive money). They allow recipients to choose goods or services within certain constraints, offering more flexibility than direct in-kind benefits while still directing the aid towards specific needs.
