Primary Outcomes (End Points)
|
Before
(1) Women's employment: (i) any work for income, (ii) sign-up for training and employment program offered by partner firm, (iii) attendance in vocational training, and (iv) attendance in employment post-training.
(2) Index of outcomes husbands and wives disagree about, including women's employment, purchase of a saree, women visting the market, and women visiting their natal villages.
We will test for heterogenous effects in 1. by baseline disagreement between preferences of husbands and wives regarding the wife’s employment
We will test for heterogenous effects in 2. by baseline disagreement index between preferences of husbands and wives regarding each particular behavior (split at the median)
We will also test for heterogenous effects in 1. and 2. by age of the woman, hypothesizing that younger women may benefit more from the communication training.

Secondary Outcomes (End Points)
|
Before
1. Survey and vignette questions on behaviors undertaken when preferences diverge, to distinguish effective communication behaviors from other types of communication as well as from direct bargaining.
2. Wages in the last 30 days
3. Reported preferences regarding female labor force employment
4. Whether woman gives input into decisions such as her employment decisions, household decisions such as large expenses and children’s’ education. We will create an index with these variables.
5. Gender attitudes regarding female labor force employment
6. Lab in the field games, including:
i) Variants of the dictator game:
a) One version of the game will only have the husband decide to share an endowment, with a subset of the couples allowed to communicate first.
b) A second version of the same will include a component where surplus shared by the husband doubles and the wife decides the final split. A subset of the couples allowed to communicate first.
ii) Games that measure communication on tasks in the lab unrelated to household decisions
|
After
1. Survey and vignette questions on behaviors undertaken when preferences diverge, to distinguish effective communication behaviors from other types of communication as well as from direct bargaining.
2. Wages in the last 90 days
3. Reported preferences regarding female labor force employment and vocational training (measured as interest in implementation partner's vocational training, employment as well as general female labor force employment). We will make an index of these outcomes. This may not change if the program does not change their preferences but is a potential mechanism if it does.
4. Who has the final say in decisions such as food, clothing, large purchases, spending husband's earnings, whether the woman works, and spending her earnings. We will create an index with these variables.
5. Women's interest in own employment, purchase of a saree, visiting the market, and visiting their natal villages. We will create an index with these variables. This may not change if the program does not change their preferences but is a potential mechanism if it does.
6. Whether the woman gives input into decisions such as food, clothing, large purchases, spending husband's earnings, whether the woman works, and spending her earnings. We will create an index with these variables.
7. Gender attitudes regarding female labor force employment
8. Self-reported happiness
9. Lab in the field games, including:
i) Variants of the dictator game:
a) One version of the game will only have the husband decide to share an endowment, with a subset of the couples allowed to communicate first.
b) A second version of the same will include a component where surplus shared by the husband doubles and the wife decides the final split. A subset of the couples allowed to communicate first.
10. Self-efficacy
11. Knowledge of a key component of communication training (see-feel-want concept).
