India Child Marriage and Teenage Pregnancy Based on NFHS 4 (2015-16)

According to the Prohibition of Child Marriage Act 2006, any girl married below 18 years of age and any boy married before 21 years, is considered a “child marriage”, which is a cognizable offence. While child marriage has long term negative consequences for both boys and girls in terms of educational outcomes as well as transitions to the labour market and family formation - the adverse effect of child marriage on girls is grave.

VIETNAMESE Leaving no one behind in a growing Vietnam

This is the Vietnamese language version of the Young Lives Vietnam Country Report. It presents results from our fifteen-year longitudinal study, which followed two cohorts of children in various situations from remote rural and mountainous sites to urban sites, as a component of a larger multi-country project. The study relates conditions early in the lives of children to later outcomes, and so improves understanding of the effects of poverty on children’s life trajectories.

"Food prices were high, and the dal became watery". Mixed-method evidence on household food insecurity and children's diets in India

Food insecurity and malnutrition are key policy priorities in India. Evidence on children’s experiences of household food insecurity and how food insecurity influences their dietary quality is limited for India and other low- and middle-income countries. Evidence on mid-childhood and adolescence is even scarcer.
