Resumo(s)
This paper evaluates the impact of a preschool and cash transfer program in Uganda on children’s mental health and further examines whether the female caregiver’s role in the household influences the treatment effect. Poverty and lack of stimulation imposes great risks on children’s mental health and financial restrictions is one of the main reasons why parents did not send their child to preschool. Evidence suggests that both the preschool and cash transfer treatments improve children’s mental health in the case when the female primary caregiver is the head of the household and mostly takes care of the child alone.
