**Group 0** : Individuals with a reported age of 35 to 55 years in ENCEL 2017. In the analysis, this group is considered the control as they had no exposure to PROSPERA during a critical period for development of human capital.

**Group 1** : Individuals with a reported age of 17 to 21 years of age in ENCEL 2017.

**Group 2** : Individuals with a reported age of 22 to 28 years of age in ENCEL 2017.

**Group 3** : Individuals with a reported age of 29 to 34 years of age in ENCEL 2017.

Groups 1, 2 and 3 comprise the groups exposed to PROSPERA during critical periods of human capital development, that is, from birth to 15 years of age during the period 1997 to 2000.

Table B.1 in Appendix B presents the main descriptive statistics for the interviewed youth, both as a whole and stratified by age groups. Of the total youth interviewed, 55.3% were women, and the average age was 27.8 years for males and 27.9 years for females. The average BMI was 26.0 for males and 26.5 for females, in both cases over the healthy limit (greater than 24.9). Males have 8.6 average years of schooling and females have 8.7; 91% of the males and 35% of females report being employed; and 17% of the males and 11% of the females do not have health insurance.

In terms of fertility, 75% of females reported having already been pregnant, 42% became pregnant at age 19 or earlier, and the average age of first pregnancy was 20.2 years. Among males, 12% indicated that by the time they were 19 years old they had already had a child and the average age when they had their first child was 22.4.

In terms of risk behaviors, 90% of males reported having consumed alcohol, 43% having smoked, and 10% having tried marijuana, which in the case of females occurs for 61%, 8% and 1% of them, respectively. These figures are consistent with those reported in national surveys (INPRF-INSP-Conadic, 2017b, c, a).<sup>12</sup> Table B.2 of Appendix B presents household providers’ main characteristics, as a whole and stratified by the age groups of the youth for whom they were providers. When compared to Table B.1, we observe that providers are on average 30 years older their children and, as expected, the average age is higher for providers of older youth groups, maintaining the same average difference of 30 years.

In terms of the main health indicator, height, we observe that the maximum height of providers is 2.8 cm lower for males, and 3.9 cm lower for females, compared to youth (Table B.1). When considering the relationship between height and weight, it is observed that the average body mass index (BMI) for males and females is in the overweight category, and as observed in the general population based on the national surveys, average BMI is higher for females than for males.

Cognitive and memory tests were performed when collecting data for ENCEL 2017; there is no estimate of these tests for the youth or providers at previous ages. Due to the cognitive deterioration expected with age (Cline _et al_ ., 1989), the providers’ age partly explains this group’s lower cognitive scores relative to the youth’s. While in the cognitive tests no differences are observed by gender, the memory score is higher for males in all cases.

The average years of schooling of providers, 3.6 for males and 3.4 for females, is consistent with the data registered by the 1995 Population and Housing Census in rural villages.
