AI Article Synopsis
- The paper examines the long-term effects of a high-quality early childhood program that begins at 8 weeks old, using a randomized controlled trial (RCT) for evaluation.
- Girls experience more significant positive outcomes from the program than boys, with generally larger effect sizes due to typically worse home conditions for girls.
- Additionally, the study highlights that fathers of sons tend to provide more support to their families compared to fathers of daughters.
Article Abstract
This paper studies the life-cycle impacts of a widely-emulated high-quality, intensive early childhood program with long-term follow up. The program starts early in life (at 8 weeks of age) and is evaluated by an RCT. There are multiple treatment effects which we summarize through interpretable aggregates. Girls have a greater number of statistically significant treatment effects than boys and effect sizes for them are generally bigger. The source of this difference is worse home environments for girls with greater scope for improvement by the program. Fathers of sons support their families more than fathers of daughters.
