Estimated Impact of PAL on Child Time Allocation.

Source: Author’s analysis based on original survey data.Note: The figure shows the point estimates and 90 percent confidence intervals of the treatment effects of PAL based on estimation of (equation 1). Each plot shows estimates from a different regression with the plot title as the dependent variable. “Cash − Kind” indicates the coefficient and confidence interval on an indicator for the cash treatment group. “Kind − Control” indicates the coefficient and confidence interval on an indicator for any treatment group. “Cash − Control” indicates the sum of both coefficients and the associated confidence interval. Outcomes are self-reported for the last seven days. “Economic activity” is an indicator for the child working in any activity (paid or unpaid). Hours of work are coded as zero for children not working in the last seven days. “Child time index” is a measure constructed as in Anderson (2008) including the following outcomes: economic activity, paid work, hours of work, and school attendance. The estimation sample includes children aged 15–16 at baseline. All regressions control for the baseline outcome, month of the interviews dummies, and the following variables measured at baseline: age and gender of the child, age and education of the household head. Confidence intervals are calculated based on standard errors clustered at the village level.
