DESCRIPTION:*This study evaluates jointly the health effects of the world's
  largest demand-side maternal cash transfer program—India’s Janani Sura
 ksha Yojana (JSY) and community health worker (CHW) interactions. Using dif
 ference-in-differences\, I exploit the differences in the percentage rollou
 t of both policy instruments across districts. Results indicate that cash t
 ransfers and CHW interactions increase delivery in a public institution and
  ante-natal care visits and reduce neonatal mortality.**Differences in labo
 r market outcomes between men and women have been extensively documented. Y
 et\, little is know about the role of peers in shaping these gaps\, especia
 lly at the beginning of the career. This paper provides novel large-scale e
 vidence on the effects of the social environment\, as represented by colleg
 e classmates\, as a driver of women’s job-search preferences and early-ca
 reer labor market choices. I exploit unique data covering the universe of c
 ollege students in Italy and quasi-random variation in peers' culture\, bas
 ed on past female labor force participation in the province of origin. I fi
 nd that exposure to same-sex peers with more egalitarian gender culture lea
 ds women to increase their labor supply. A one standard deviation increase 
 in peers' culture increases female earnings by 3.6%\, mostly through higher
  take-up of full-time jobs. Leveraging information on elicited job-search p
 references\, I shed light on a novel gender-biased channel: peers shape wom
 en's preferences towards relevant job attributes. Peer influence is especia
 lly strong in the absence of alternative role models\, both in the family a
 nd within society. Overall\, peers reduce early career gender gaps by 30%.Â
