Digital Access, Use and Skills Across Four Countries: Construction of Scales and Preliminary Results from the Young Lives Round 5 Survey

This technical note outlines the procedures used to develop a digital module, administered to both Young Lives cohorts in the four study countries during the Round 5 household survey in 2016. The modules were based on existing scales in this field. We carried out pilot tests of instruments and performed psychometric analysis to present evidence of the reliability and validity of the instruments. The items measure access, digital skills and use of digital devices, including computers, tablets, the internet and mobile phones.

What have we learned from the Young Lives study in Peru?

The Young Lives Peru (Niños del Milenio) Country Report presents results from a fifteen-year longitudinal study, which followed two cohorts of children in various situations from remote rural areas to urban communities, 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.
