Planned Number of Clusters We will enroll approximately 350-500 workers (depending on take-up at the stands) across approximately 15 stands in Chennai. We will enroll approximately 250-350 workers (depending on take-up at the stands) across approximately 15 stands in Chennai.
Secondary Outcomes (Explanation) These two outcomes are considered secondary because: 1) they are self-reported leading to additional noise in the data, and 2) they are dependent on labor demand as well, which may vary across contexts. Additional outcomes subject to feasibility. We are piloting to determine whether participants can be asked to wear pedometers for a portion of the study, in the hopes of providing an “objective” measure of the amount of work done. However, we will only analyze this data if we are able to incentivize participants to wear the devices regularly. Similarly, we are attempting to partner with a construction firm to offer participants the choice of a “regular” job that is salaried and requires consistent attendance. Incentive compatible preferences for this type of work will be elicited and, if possible, a (small) random subset will be offered their choice at the end of the study. Take-up of the offer will be dependent on our being able to secure such a partner firm. Additional outcomes subject to feasibility.

We will also collect supplementary data including: reasons for absences and a brief questionnaire on time use, habits, and identity. Additional outcomes subject to feasibility.
