A research team led by Yale economics professor Costas Meghir is examining early childhood intervention in Odisha, an Indian state, with the goal of helping children in need in the community to reach their potential and to prevent poverty from being transmitted from one generation to another. Researchers are examining whether an educational intervention that has proven effective on a small scale can be broadened into a policy that could potentially help hundreds of children.
An intervention that was originally conducted in Jamaica featured a curriculum of language development and play activities that were delivered to malnourished children through home visits. Ultimately, when the children received interventions, their outcomes improved significantly.
The project in India involves 1,200 children, many of whom live in communities that lack running water and sanitation. In addition, the children face the possibility of contracting diseases such as dysentery that could affect their growth and lead to anemia. The researchers are seeking a parental intervention. Essentially, they want to encourage parents to undertake routine daily tasks to foster their children’s development, amid their other commitments. The hope is that parents will dedicate their scant time and resources to helping their children.
