本文发现，对生活在贫困中的发育迟缓的牙买加幼儿进行社会心理刺激的随机干预措施对参与者的收入产生了巨大影响。该干预措施包括牙买加社区卫生工作者在两年内每周进行一小时的访问，教授育儿技巧，并鼓励母亲与孩子互动和玩耍，以培养孩子的认知和个性技能。作者在干预 20 年后重新采访了研究参与者。刺激措施使参与者的平均收入增加了 42%。治疗组的收入赶上了匹配的非发育迟缓对照组的收入。这些发现表明，在弱势环境中，童年早期的社会心理刺激可以对劳动力市场的结果产生重大影响，并减少以后生活中的不平等。
This paper finds large effects on the earnings of participants from a randomized intervention that gave psychosocial stimulation to stunted Jamaican toddlers living in poverty. The intervention consisted of one-hour weekly visits from community Jamaican health workers over a 2-year period that taught parenting skills and encouraged mothers to interact and play with their children in ways that would develop their children's cognitive and personality skills. The authors re-interviewed the study participants 20 years after the intervention. Stimulation increased the average earnings of participants by 42 percent. Treatment group earnings caught up to the earnings of a matched non-stunted comparison group. These findings show that psychosocial stimulation early in childhood in disadvantaged settings can have substantial effects on labor market outcomes and reduce later life inequality.
