Socio-economic Status and Learning Levels of Children in Peru

This brief (in Spanish) presents recent analysis from Young Lives of the links between children's socio-economic status (household poverty level, parental education, ethnicity and gender) and levels of learning and achievement at school. Historically, inequality in education has been linked to access to school, but with recent improvements in enrolment, this trend is shifting rapidly towards inequality in learning.

The Time and Place of Children’s Migration Aspirations in Peru

This article examines young Peruvians' aspirations and the role of migration in the futures they imagine for themselves, and looks at this from a generational perspective. The paper uses a biographical approach that sees migration as part of individual biographies as well as social structures and life-course processes. The aim is to deepen understanding of the social contexts in which aspirations for and by children are generated, paying close attention to family migration histories, dynamic household contexts, and children's migration networks.

The Characteristics of, and Risk Factors for, Child Injuries in Andhra Pradesh, India

Background Injuries are an emerging public health issue among children worldwide, and one of the leading causes of disability-adjusted life years lost for children aged 0-14 years. Few studies, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, have analysed characteristics and risk factors for these injuries.

Methods: This study examined the occurrence and risk factors of serious non-fatal injuries in children aged 7-9 years (n=1820) from Andhra Pradesh, India. Logistic regression models were used to explore potential risk factors for these injuries.

Negotiating Agency in Cases of Intimate Partner Violence in Vietnam

Understandings of women's agency in cases of intimate partner violence (IPV) have been dominated by an individualistic focus on help-seeking behaviour. The role of children in influencing, enabling and restricting the decision-making processes of their mothers has been largely ignored. We adopt biographical analytical approaches to qualitative longitudinal data collected as part of the Young Lives study to highlight the interdependency of women's and children's agency in contexts of IPV in Vietnam.

Youth Trajectories through Work and Marriage in Rural Ethiopia

The paper explores young people's trajectories through work and marriage in two rural communities in Ethiopia. Global policy attention and research has been dominated by the patterns found in high-income country contexts. Although there is increasing focus on 'adolescence' in low-income countries, the concept of 'transition' has been critiqued as inadequate. The paper explores the trajectories of young people who are no longer in formal schooling, through their involvement in work/livelihoods and marriage. It draws on Young Lives survey and qualitative longitudinal data.
