Assessing Children’s Learning Outcomes: A Comparison of two cohorts from Young Lives Ethiopia

This paper examines the disparity in learning outcomes between two cohorts of children of the same age (12 years old) but seven years apart using data from Young Lives Ethiopia. Learning outcomes are measured by the differences in mathematics, common reading and receptive vocabulary tests. By applying simple statistical tests, we particularly looked at whether the level of learning outcomes declined or improved over the seven years of time.

Child-sensitive Social Protection

Half of the world’s people who live in extreme poverty are children, and their experience of poverty, vulnerability and social exclusion is different from that of adults. Small differences in the design and implementation of social protection programmes can make a huge difference for children. Making social protection child-sensitive has the potential to benefit not only children, but also their families, communities and national development as a whole.
