_Note: “Lost” or “Gained” columns refers to groups of households who had at least one more/one fewer child aged 0-17 at the 6 months follow-up; columns 2-4 are limited to the Control group and columns 5-7 the Treatment group; the value displayed in the "Differences (6-4)" column are the differences in the means across the groups in columns 6 and 4, t-test significance level p< 0.01 - ***, 0.05 - **, 0.1 - *; dependency ratio defined as the ratio of dependents (children under 18 and adults 60+) to working age adults (aged 18-59 years old);_<sup>_++_</sup> _sample limited to household with children; all expenditure and debt values are deflated across regions and months into average 2017 Turkish Lira and are winsorized at the 99th percentile; The food consumption score (FCS), reduced coping strategies index (rCSI), and livelihoods coping strategies index (LCSI) are calculated as per the WFP's methodology described in section 3, for the FCS a higher score indicates better food consumption outcomes, for the rCSI and LCSI a lower score indicates a better coping strategies outcome (i.e. fewer coping strategies employed)._ 47
