摘要：

有兴趣大规模提供儿童早期发展计划的发展中国家面临的一个主要挑战是这些计划是否可以通过现有的公共服务基础设施有效地实施。我们提供了一项随机实验的结果，评估了中国计划生育委员会的干部实施的家庭育儿计划的效果。我们发现，该计划在六个月后显着提高了婴儿的技能发展，并且护理人员增加投资以及改善育儿技能是实现这一目标的主要机制。那些在认知发展方面落后，并且在干预开始时几乎没有得到父母投资的儿童从该计划中受益最大。家庭参与该计划与参与者对计划生育的好感程度有关，由于该计划，参与度也有所提高。

Abstract 

A key challenge in developing countries interested in providing early childhood development programs at scale is whether these programs can be effectively delivered through existing public service infrastructures. We present the results of a randomized experiment evaluating the effects of a home-based parenting program delivered by cadres in China’s Family Planning Commission (FPC) - the former enforcers of the one-child policy. We find that the program significantly increased infant skill development after six months and that increased investments by caregivers alongside improvements in parenting skills were a major mechanism through which this occurred. Children who lagged behind in their cognitive development and received little parental investment at the onset of the intervention benefited most from the program. Household participation in the program was associated with the degree to which participants had a favorable view of the FPC, which also increased due to the program.
