Intergenerational Relationships and the Life-Course

Drawing on three rounds of survey and qualitative data of the Young Lives study in Ethiopia among children born in 1994 and their caregivers, this article investigates intergenerational relationships by means of the life course perspective. With the expansion of modern education and children’s exposure to different experiences outside the family, many of them contest parental values, norms, and expectations. Competing agents of socialization have contributed to increased intergenerational conflicts and negotiations.

Using Young Lives data, this study attempts to fill this gap by examining a weight estimation method which takes children's perspectives into account.

Determinants of Successful Completion of Secondary Education

As India comes close to realising universal enrolment at primary and upper primary levels, the universalisation of secondary education has become critical if the country is to achieve equitable social development and build a skilled workforce. The Rashtriya Madhyamik Rashtriya Shiksha Abhiyan (the National Mission for Secondary Education) was launched to increase access and improve quality, but in 2013/14 only 46 per cent of children were enrolled in secondary school.
