Experiences of Young Lives During Crises in Ethiopia Initial Evidence from the Sixth Wave of Qualitative Research (Qual 6)

This report presents key research findings from initial analysis of Young Lives Ethiopia's sixth wave of qualitative longitudinal research (Qual 6). It examines related trends identified through the Young Lives Round 7 quantitative survey conducted in 2023–24 and highlights key changes since both Round 7 and the previous Young Lives qualitative study (Qual 5) in 2019. Comparisons with Qual 5 findings are particularly important for understanding the impacts of multiple, overlapping crises over the past six years.

Life-Course Shocks and Food Insecurity: Longitudinal Evidence from Ethiopia, India, and Peru

Using two decades of longitudinal data (2002-2023) from the Young Lives study in Ethiopia, India, and Peru, the authors analyse how the timing of shocks - such as weather events, conflict, COVID-19, bereavement and economic hardship - influences current household food security. Their findings consistently demonstrate a significant association between recent shock exposure and food insecurity in 2023 across the three countries.

Asking Difficult Questions: Design and Implementation of an Audio Computer-Assisted Self-Interview (ACASI) in the Young Lives Study

This technical note outlines the design and implementation of audio computer-assisted self-interviews (ACASI) in the Young Lives study. ACASI was introduced for the first time during Round 7 data collection in India and Ethiopia to gather sensitive information related to substance use, sexual and reproductive health, attitudes towards sensitive issues and personal experiences of various forms of violence in low-literacy contexts. In Ethiopia, the method also enabled the collection of highly sensitive data on the impact of the armed conflict that began at the end of 2020.
