Abstract

This document outlines the analysis plans for a cluster-randomized evaluation of the impact of a daycare program on women’s economic empowerment. We provide an overview of the study background, aims, and primary hypotheses, and we describe in detail the primary and secondary outcomes for women and children. We also describe the primary analyses and models that we will use to evaluate our hypotheses, including an assessment of heterogeneous treatment effects. The primary analyses will be according to intention-to-treat (ITT) but we will also estimate the impact of daycare on women’s and children’s outcomes using two stage least squares instrumental variable methods.
