The Relationship of Household Monetary Poverty and Multidimensional Child Deprivation

Using the longitudinal dataset from Young Lives, this paper aims to measure multidimensional childhood deprivation in Andhra Pradesh, India. We employ the counting approach of Alkire and Foster (2011) and household- and child-related data on 975 children at two different age points (12 and 15 years) and seek to establish the fact that childhood deprivation is not confined only to monetarily poor households.

Can Maternal Education Hinder, Sustain or Enhance the Benefits of Early Life Interventions?

Although the evidence supporting the wider benefits of education is substantial, there is a strong debate as to whether observed differences in children’s learning outcomes are driven by differences in social class, income, education, poverty, employment, or any other factor. In almost every country there are marked differences in health, social and civic participation between individuals with high levels of education and those with low levels of education.
