SUMMARY:Impacts of Conditional Cash Transfers on Women’s Educational Time Investments: Evidence from the Indian Time Use Survey
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Economics\, SRM University–AP\, invites faculty members\, researchers\, scholars\, and students to the September edition of the SRMAP Economics Virtual Seminar Series. \nThe session will feature Dr Sneha Lamba\, Assistant Professor\, IIT Delhi\, who will discuss the impacts of conditional cash transfer programmes on women’s allocation of time towards education\, drawing on evidence from the Indian Time Use Survey. The seminar will offer an opportunity to examine the relationship between social protection interventions\, women’s educational investments\, and time allocation within the Indian context. \nSpeaker: Dr Sneha Lamba\, Assistant Professor\, IIT Delhi\nTitle: Impacts of Conditional Cash Transfers on Women’s Educational Time Investments: Evidence from the Indian Time Use Survey\nDate: September 16\, 2026\nTime: 3:45 PM – 5:00 PM\nMode: Online via Zoom \nAbstract: Human capital formation among adolescent girls is frequently  constrained by socioeconomic norms that favor early marriage\, household  labor\, and reduced schooling. We study the impacts of a large-scale conditional cash transfer (CCT) program in India—the Kanyashree  Prakalpa—that incentivizes girls’ education and delays school dropout  through financial incentives. Using time-use data from a national survey and exploiting cross-state policy variations\, we estimate the program’s intent-to-treat effects on educational time investments at home and at  school. Our estimates indicate that the program raised girls’ time devoted to educational activities and to homework/tuition by about 3.5 percent and 9 percent\, respectively\, relative to the sample mean. This was accompanied by a substantial reduction in time spent on domestic work. By contrast\, we detect no statistically significant changes in time spent in school at either the extensive or intensive margin. We  also find long-term effects: women exposed to the program exhibit higher educational attainment and greater investment in educational activities in early adulthood\, sometimes well after program eligibility has expired. These findings contribute to the growing evidence on the role of CCTs in reshaping intra-household time allocation and generating persistent gains in human capital formation for women. \nZoom registration link: https://srmap.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_oTEu3E5mRkOQVtt8dLwrHQ \nThe seminar is part of the monthly SRMAP Economics Virtual Seminar Series\, held on the third Wednesday of every month\, providing a platform for academic exchange and discussion on contemporary issues in economics.
