Abstract
AbstractFinancial incentives and support have positive impacts on child development and health. The brief uses data collected from a randomized experiment to examine parents' views of child development accounts (CDAs), a universal asset‐building policy to deliver financial subsidies for adolescent development, education, health and other developmental outcomes. Parents in the treatment and control groups have similar views on the universal CDA policy model, and more than 80% of them supported nine tested policy features of CDAs. Public opinion reflected in parents' views is critical for successful policymaking of such policies for children and families in the future.
