Drawing on the Young Lives study of childhood poverty in Ethiopia, India, Peru and Vietnam, this brief explores different dimensions of rural girls' growth, learning and development over childhood and adolescence.

Inequality in attainment from early childhood to adolescence: Longitudinal evidence from Ethiopia

As the Ethiopian government moves to increase enrolment in preschool education from 34 per cent in 2013/14 to 80 per cent by 2020, this working paper provides some country-specific evidence on the predictors of preschool attendance and its association to attainment in Ethiopia. Using four rounds of Young Lives data, it examines: who typically attends preschool education; whether children who attend preschool education have higher attainment than children who do not; and how the association between preschool education and attainment evolves over time.

Child Poverty and Adolescent Transitions

This brief from the Global Coalition to End Child Poverty is intended as a tool for governments and their partners. It shows why reducing poverty during the second decade of a child’s life is necessary to promote children’s rights and is a sound investment for the future. It identifies actions that governments and others can take, and the data and evidence gaps that need to be addressed in order to tackle adolescent poverty and its consequences.
