abstract: 'Background: The provision of affordable and reliable daycare services is
a potentially important policy lever for empowering Indian women. Access
to daycare might reduce barriers to labor force entry and generate
economic opportunities for women, improve education for girls caring for
younger siblings, and promote nutrition and learning among children.
However, empirical evidence concerning the effects of daycare programs
in low-and-middle-income countries is scarce. This cluster-randomized
trial will estimate the effect of a community-based daycare program on
health and economic well-being over the life-course among women and
children living in rural Rajasthan, India.
Methods: This three-year study takes place in rural communities from
five blocks in the Udaipur District of rural Rajasthan. The intervention
is the introduction of a full-time, affordable, community-based daycare
program. At baseline, 3177 mothers with age eligible children living in
160 village hamlets were surveyed. After the baseline, these hamlets
were randomized to the intervention or control groups and respondents
will be interviewed on two more occasions. Primary social and economic
outcomes include women''s economic status and economic opportunity,
women''s empowerment, and children''s educational attainment. Primary
health outcomes include women''s mental health, as well as children''s
nutritional status.
Discussion: This interdisciplinary research initiative will provide
rigorous evidence concerning the effects of daycare in lower-income
settings. In doing so it will address an important research gap and has
the potential to inform policies for improving the daycare system in
India in ways that promote health and economic well-being.'
