This report provides an overview of the second Young Lives school survey in Ethiopia, conducted at the beginning and end of the 2012-13 academic year with nearly 12,000 primary-school children studying in Grades 4 and 5. The survey was designed to allow analysis of what shapes children's learning and progression over a school year and the report gives a baseline descriptive report of the data.

This fact sheet presents preliminary findings from the fourth round of the Young Lives survey in 2013. It reports on children’s learning and some of the changes that have taken place in key education indicators for our sample children over the eleven years since the first round of data collection in 2002. The data show that the enrolment rates for the 12-year-olds are high, for boys and girls alike and in both rural and urban areas, although children from the poorest households and ethnic minority communities are still more likely not to be attending school.

This fact sheet presents preliminary findings from the fourth round of the Young Lives survey in Viet Nam in 2013. It focuses on some of the changes that have taken place in key nutrition indicators for the sample children over the eleven years since the first round of data collection in 2002. We find that stunting has fallen among children at the age of 12 (from 33% in 2006 to 20% in 2013), although levels remain high among some disadvantaged groups. The prevalence of underweight (thinness) has also fallen, but with little improvement among the poorest children.

This fact sheet presents preliminary findings from the fourth round of data collection carried out by Young Lives in Viet Nam in late 2013. It reports on outcomes for the Older Cohort in terms of education, employment and marriage, showing clearly how young people’s opportunities in life are influenced by household wealth level and background circumstances. Almost half of the young people were still in education (16% combining this with work) and a third had left school and started work.

In 2012-13 Young Lives conducted a survey of nearly 12,000 pupils studying in Grades 4 and 5 in 30 sites located across seven regions of Ethiopia. The survey offers a unique perspective on regional and site differences in pupil, teacher and school characteristics and the factos influencing pupil progression and learning in mathematics and reading comprehension over the course of a single school year.

Improving children’s life chances is central to development in low- and middle-income countries. Half the population of sub-Saharan Africa are aged 18 or younger, and they comprise nearly half of all people living in extreme poverty worldwide. As the largest single demographic group affected by extreme poverty, children can no longer be seen as a ‘special interest group’. There is increasing recognition of inequalities within countries, and a recognition that some groups have been ‘left behind’ by development.

Early childhood development (ECD) has become a priority for research, policy and programming, at national and global level, with increasing recognition of the interconnections between a nation’s development goals and the quality of services for all young girls and boys, and their families. The term ‘ECD’ is increasingly being used to reflect the evidence that young children’s survival, health, care and learning involves interconnected and dynamic growth processes from well before the infant is born through into their early school years.
