Growth recovery and faltering through early adolescence:Determinants and implications for cognitive development

Child chronic undernutrition, as measured by stunting, is prevalent in low- and middle-income countries and is among the major threats to child development. While stunting and its implications for cognitive development have been considered irreversible beyond early childhood there is a lack of consensus in the literature on this as there is some evidence of recovery from stunting and that this recovery may be associated with improvements in cognition.

Young Women’s Household Bargaining Power in Marriage and Parenthood in Ethiopia

This working paper examines the factors that affect the bargaining power of young married women in marriage and parenthood in Ethiopia, where power structures remain overwhelmingly male-dominated and patriarchal. It draws on longitudinal qualitative data and survey information collected by Young Lives with children, young people and their families between 2007 and 2015. The paper’s main focus is young women’s changing relations and analysis of their ‘bargaining power’ before and after marriage.

Maternal Undernutrition and Childbearing in Adolescence and Offspring Growth and Development: Is Adolescence a Critical Window for Interventions Against Stunting?

Maternal undernutrition and adolescent childbearing are prevalent in low- and middle-income countries and have harmful consequences for children. However, less is known on whether these implications persist throughout the offspring’s life course. Moreover, although adult nutritional status has been suggested to largely reflect conditions during the period from conception to 2 years old (“the first 1,000 days”), others have argued that adolescence is an equally important period for nutrition.

Parental Background and Child Human Capital Development Throughout Childhood and Adolescence

Although there is a vast number of empirical studies documenting a strong positive link between parental socioeconomic status (SES) and child outcomes, we do not know whether these associations remain robust when controlling for other parental background dimensions. In this working paper, Andreas Georgiadis investigates the association of child human capital indicators with a wide range of parental background dimensions across four low- and middle-income countries (Ethiopia, India, Peru and Vietnam) and at different stages of childhood and adolescence using data from Young Lives.

Psychosocial competencies and risky behaviours in Peru

In this paper, the authors use the Young Lives longitudinal dataset from Peru to investigate the relationship between psychosocial competencies related to the concepts of self-esteem, self-efficacy, and aspirations, and a number of risky behaviours at a crucial transition period between adolescence and early adulthood.
