abstract: 'Head Start is a federal antipoverty program that provides free
childcare, preschool, and related services to disadvantaged families.
Research on Head Start has focused almost exclusively on impacts among
children. Using data from the Head Start Impact Study, a nationally
representative field experiment, the authors estimate treatment effects
on maternal employment, economic hardship, and depression. The authors
find that Head Start admission generates some improvements among Black
mothers but not among other subpopulations. In analyses accounting for
treatment intensity, noncompliance, and program substitution, the
authors find suggestive evidence that Head Start participation may lead
to even greater improvements in these outcomes specifically among Black
mothers who would otherwise look after their children at home and when
they participate in the program full-time. In conclusion, Head Start
likely improves outcomes for some groups of low-income mothers, but
these effects are heterogeneous, and they may be small, dose-dependent,
or otherwise difficult to detect for many women.'
