Experimental Design (Public)
|
Before
In randomly selected groups of villages known as Gram Panchayats (GPs), we will support the government's initiative to open bank accounts for female NREGS workers who do not have an account in their own names. In another set of randomly selected GPs, women NREGS workers will open individual bank accounts, and their NREGS wages will be paid into the individual accounts. A cross-cutting intervention will randomize households within the control and treatment arms of the base design to receive bi-weekly information about NREGS wage payments to household members. In one treatment arm, individuals will receive information about their own NREGS wage payments. In the other treatment arm, households will receive information on wage payments from NREGS to all household members.
