Summary

This project collected data in 2006 and 2007 in one district in West Bengal, Birbhum, a rural and poor district located about 200 km from Kolkata, where there are large gender gaps in education and in labor market opportunities. Between June 2006 and November 2007 we surveyed 495 villages spread across the 165 GPs in Birbhum district in West Bengal (we randomly selected three villages per GP). In each surveyed village we collected data on the quantity and quality of public good provision, and administered household and individual surveys to a random sample of 15 households.
