These conditional cash benefits were part of a nationwide health intervention <i>Janani Suraksha Yojana</i>, introduced in India in 2005. By its unique dual focus on demand and supply, the programme entitled socio-economically backward mothers with cash assistance if they chose to give birth at public health institutions, and simultaneously employed ASHAs to act as a direct link between a pregnant woman and the public health delivery system. By using variations across eligibility of mothers, and the differential implementation of ASHAs across low-focus and high-focus states in a difference-in-difference framework, the maternal and neonatal health outcomes are evaluated. Results show causal evidence that eligible mothers who received both cash benefits and ASHA’s guidance outperformed the eligible mothers receiving only cash benefits, in outcomes such as institutional births and breastfeeding practices. To elucidate, a mother with both cash benefits and ASHA’s counsel experienced a 7.1 percentage points increase in institutional birth rate than her ineligible counterpart; whereas, the corresponding increase for a mother only eligible for cash benefits was 2.9 percentage points. A similar impact is found in the case of antenatal care check-ups of the expecting mother and BCG vaccination of the newborn.","PeriodicalId":149805,"journal":{"name":"Labor: Demographics & Economics of the Family eJournal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130625847","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using a nationally representative survey of families and individuals, China Family Panel Studies, this paper is the first to explore these effects in a causal sense in the Chinese context. We utilize a regression discontinuity design that employs the threshold date for primary school entry set by the 1986 Compulsory Education Law of China as a source of exogenous variation in the timing of school entry. We first document a salient and robust compliance rate of school entry requirement. RD estimates indicate that a one-year delay in primary school enrollment significantly increases years of schooling completed by roughly two years. Even though school entry age does not exhibit statistically significant effects on labor market performance for the full sample, we find that delaying primary school entry increases the probability of being in the labor force for men, but decreases that for women. Further evidence suggests that the decline in the female labor force participation due to school entry requirement is driven by both demand-side factors such as insufficient job opportunities in urban areas and discrimination in employment against female job seekers, and supply-side factors including fertility decision, childcare provision, and assortative mating.","PeriodicalId":149805,"journal":{"name":"Labor: Demographics & Economics of the Family eJournal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123681219","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Big Challenge is to find what job-related factors caused happiness, even bigger challenge is to know how they cause it. We proposed a theoretical framework based on Joshanloo and Jarden's (2016) work explaining hedonism as a major cause of happiness moderated by individualism. We further extended the model, including career-related goals that effect hedonism. Hence we theorized that work-life balance, career development, learning affect hedonism, which subsequently affects happiness. Moreover, more individualistic (vs. collectivist) societies hedonism (tend to value pleasure) is more closely linked with happiness. Empirical validity was established by conducting a survey using a close-ended questionnaire. Data was collected from 219 respondents from different organizations of Pakistan and analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis and structured equation modeling. The results suggested that all three career-related factors negatively and significantly affect hedonism. Subsequently, hedonism negatively affects happiness. Individualism has a positive role in happiness directly, as well as directly, is it negatively complements the inverse effect of Hedonism on Happiness. Finding implies career-related factors decrease hedonism that would, in turn, bring more happiness. Most importantly, seeking pleasure doesn’t bring happiness. This study will benefit organizations working in Pakistan as they can estimate what to value for their employee for their happiness.","PeriodicalId":149805,"journal":{"name":"Labor: Demographics & Economics of the Family eJournal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130057122","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
