This article shows that African women face a relatively low child penalty. Having a child has little impact on their employment. Immediately made me think of how I have many more stay at home mom friends in the US versus Nigeria. Sadly, this is not the full story 1/2

Today's article presents the child penalty in employment – i.e. how much the birth of a first child impacts the employment of mothers relative to fathers - for 134 countries around the world ⤵️

Yes, exactly! We think that the messages shared by leaders in the communities (at least, some of them) conflict with the key messages of the program. @PierottiRachael is planning some work that may give us a clearer answer soon 🤞🏿
James Allen IV@JEAllenIV

@a_peterman @IFPRI @KEstellos @WorldBank My take: there is some evidence that treated leaders responded to the girls' empowerment training they received by speaking out with more conservative messages. I think follow-up work is hoping to identify this a bit more.

Promising results on the impacts of community based monitoring on public service delivery , in the agricultural sector for instance, in #Uganda. Spoiler alert : interesting heterogeneous effects!
