Weighting Deprivations using Subjective Well-being

Although multidimensional approaches to child poverty have received growing attention in Vietnam, proper investigation of how to assign weights to different dimensions when constructing single aggregation indices has not been done. 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.

Nutrition, Stunting and Catch-up Growth

Recognition of the importance of good nutrition in early childhood has led to an increased acceptance of the "first 1000 days" (from conception through the second year of life) as a critical window of opportunity for ensuring children have good health throughout life, with associated benefits in other areas. There are powerful arguments to say that investments made during this early period are both a foundation for better long-term development and the most efficient point of intervention to lessen the impacts of childhood poverty.

An Employment Guarantee as Risk Insurance?

This paper assesses inhowfar employment guarantees can support households in managing agricultural production risks. Using representative panel data for Andhra Pradesh, India, it analyzes the effects of the National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (NREGS) on households' crop choices. This paper shows that the introduction of the NREGS reduces households' uncertainty about future income streams because it provides reliable employment opportunities in rural areas independently of weather shocks and crop failure.
