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.

Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Rural Girls and Young Women: Evidence from Young Lives

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. Despite gains in recent years, many rural girls are growing up in challenging circumstances with lasting consequences for their nutrition, learning, and well-being.

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.
