Gender differences in child investment behaviour among agricultural households

Evidence from the Lesotho Child Grants Programme

The report examines the impacts of an unconditional cash transfer in Lesotho, the Child Grants Programme, aimed at enhancing children’s nutrition and schooling. Using an experimental impact evaluation design, the analysis looks specifically at gender-differentiated impacts in children’s school participation and time use among agricultural households two years after the start of the programme. In addition, the paper tests whether household structure and gender of the designated cash recipient influences the programme’s impact on child welfare.
