If I recall correctly, the impacts of deworming were supposed to be through transition to higher paying jobs like textile manufacturing (but itโs been a while since I looked into this, so may be misremembering). Maybe the work pays better and people voluntarily choose it, but is actually less pleasant (harder, more stressful, etc.?) than what they would be doing otherwise?
Hi Michael, Thank you for trying to connect the non-sig wellbeing findings and the non-sig wealth findings of the KLPS. Indeed, Baird et al. (2016) found an increase in people from the treatment condition having manufacturing jobs (see their Table III). However, they only used the KLPS 2 round. Hamory et al. (2021) use KLPS 2, 3, and 4 and find a tiny, negative, non-significant decrease in manufacturing jobs for the treatment condition. What they do find is fewer hours worked in agriculture and more hours worked in non-agriculture. I donโt read much into any of these.
