Beyond Monetary Poverty Analysis: The Dynamics of Multidimensional Child Poverty in Developing Countries

This article investigates transitions in monetary and multidimensional poverty using the 2006 and 2009 Young Lives surveys in Ethiopia, India, Peru, and Vietnam. While the headcount ratio in both measures of poverty decreases over time, author Hoolda Kim finds that there is only a small overlap between the groups in monetary and multidimensional poverty in either or both waves. Kim also notes that children remaining in monetary poverty are more likely to stay in multidimensional poverty.

Early-life Exposure to Weather Shocks and Human Capital Accumulation: Evidence from the Peruvian Highlands

This working paper uses Young Lives data to investigate the impact of early-life exposure to unusually low temperatures (below long-term averages) on the formation of human capabilities in a cohort of children born in the Peruvian Andes. The empirical strategy uses differences in exposure to temperature levels across children within clusters, generated by differences in date of birth, at the month precision, in areas where frosts are widespread.
