abstract: 'Worldwide, there is a wide gap between what women can contribute to the
economy and what they actually contribute. One of the main barriers to
women''s engagement in the labor market and productivity at work is the
societal expectation that they should take care of their children in
addition to meeting the demands of employment. Furthermore, those in
informal employment face difficulties due to long working hours and
environments that are not appropriate for childcare. To address this,
Kidogo runs an innovative ``Hub \& Spoke{''''} model for low-income
communities. Here, we present a study protocol aimed at evaluating
whether the provision of quality childcare opportunities for working
women through the Kidogo model is feasible and acceptable and whether it
contributes to improvements in their incomes and productivity at work.
The study reported in this protocol which is currently ongoing, employed
a quasi-experimental design with two study arms: primary caregivers who
use childcare services were recruited into the intervention (n = 170)
and comparison groups (n = 170). Both groups are being followed up for
one year. We are using a mixed-methods approach. Appropriate statistical
methods including a difference-in-differences (DID) estimator will be
used to analyze the effects of the intervention. We expect that the
intervention will improve the quality of childcare services which in
turn will improve the incomes of the center providers. We expect that
providing improved childcare services will enhance women''s economic
empowerment.'
