Children's Experience of Multidimensional Deprivation

Using longitudinal data set from Young Lives, this paper aims to measure multidimensional childhood deprivation in the state of Andhra Pradesh, India. In this paper we employ Alkire and Foster (2011) counting approach to estimate multidimensional childhood deprivation. We use household and child related data of 975 children in two different age points (12 and 15 year) and seek to establish the fact that childhood deprivation is not confined only to monetary poor households.

Reducing Attrition in Panel Studies in Developing Countries

Abstract: In panel studies, respondents are lost when they die, decide to drop out of the study, or when they cannot be traced during later rounds of data collection. Much has been written about attrition, the loss of individuals over time, in developed countries, but literature from developing countries is scarce. The experiences from developed countries may not be relevant for developing countries as the main reasons for attrition differ.

Tracking Disparities: Who Gets Left Behind? Initial Findings from Peru Round 3 Survey

This report presents initial findings from the third round of data collection by Young Lives in Peru, carried out from late 2009 to early 2010 with two age cohorts of children. It gives a broad outline of some of the key indicators of childhood poverty and changes that have taken place in the children?s lives between the earlier rounds of data collection in 2002 and 2006 and this third round. Data are mainly presented for the entire age cohort, in most cases separated into gender, wealth groups, rural/urban location, and maternal mother tongue (as a proxy of ethnicity).

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.
