Abstract: This paper examines, in particular, the effects on educational mobility of a well-known maternal and child health and family planning program in Matlab Bangladesh. Results suggest that the program resulted in a small increase in consumption per capita, decreases in family sizes, small changes in household recombination, and increases in child schooling except among the lowest education households. We also show that approximate corrections for these biases using more limited data are reasonably effective.
