+  An experimental study looking at the effects of providing free childcare for poor urban mothers in Nicaragua under the 'Programo Urbano', looking at the effects on inequality for mothers and children.
+  It finds that providing free childcare for young children of poor mothers significantly increases the employment probability of the mothers (14ppts) independently of the childcare quality.
+  It also finds significantly positive impacts on the human capital of the children, though dependent on the quality of childcare facilities.
+  This suggests childcare costs being removed through a quasi-subsidy reducing the required childcare time burden on mothers, increasing parental agency and employment choices.
+  Some limitations to the study include a relatively small overall sample size, as well as employment effects becoming insignificant when the effect is measured on randomization alone (without an additional instrumental variable).
