ABSTRACT We used data from a cluster-randomized trial in rural Rajasthan, India to evaluate the impact of providing access to a community-based daycare program on women’s economic outcomes two years later. The sample included 2858 mothers with age-eligible children. Providing access to daycare led 43% of households to utilize them. The intervention reduced time on childcare by 16.0 minutes/day (95%CI=-10.6, 42.5) and increased the probabilities that women were paid in cash and spent time during the prior day on paid work by 2.3 (95%CI=0.0, 4.5) and 2.6 (95%CI=0.9, 4.4) percentage points. Other indicators of labor force participation and income were unaffected.

获得负担得起的日托服务和妇女的经济机会：来自印度的集群随机干预的证据

摘要我们使用了来自印度拉贾斯坦邦农村的一项集群随机试验的数据，以评估两年后提供基于社区的日托计划对妇女的经济成果的影响。样本包括2858名年龄适中的母亲。提供日托服务导致43％的家庭使用日托。这项干预措施减少了每天16.0分钟的托儿时间（95％CI = -10.6，42.5），并使妇女以现金支付的费用和前一天花在有偿工作上的时间增加了2.3（95％CI = 0.0， 4.5）和2.6（95％CI = 0.9，4.4）个百分点。劳动力参与和收入的其他指标不受影响。
