Educational Trajectories from Childhood to Early Adulthood: Aspirations, Gender and Poverty in Ethiopia

This working paper discusses educational trajectories and gendered outcomes in early adulthood in Ethiopia. It is based on the Young Lives longitudinal study of a cohort of children born in 1994, the year when the first educational policy that set out the subsequent expansion of formal schooling in Ethiopia was launched.

Young Lives research has shown that children have gone through irregular education trajectories. Poverty, location, gender, and family situation all played pivotal roles in shaping their educational pathways.

‘Non-Cognitive’ Constructs and Measures for the Young Lives School Surveys

In their studies of academic achievement, the Young Lives school survey research teams wish to include a range of psychosocial measures. This working paper prepares the ground for this work. It reviews international literature on psychosocial constructs and measures, often referred to as ‘non-cognitive’ factors, in the determination of academic achievement and longer term outcomes. The review focuses on five recent meta reviews, and also describes a number of studies in low- and middle-income countries not included in these meta reviews, but which have relevance for Young Lives research.
