When it comes to the childhood formation of non-cognitive skills and preferences, however, research is still in the early stages.

Looking Beyond Outcome Evaluations of CCTs: The Differential Impact of Peru’s Juntos on Education Achievement

Despite the popularity of conditional cash transfers (CCTs) across Latin America, and proponents’ insistence that the programmes alleviate poverty in the long term, there is a lack of evidence on the impact of such programmes on students’ educational achievement. This paper represents one of just a handful of studies on the impact of CCTs on educational achievement, and to the author’s knowledge, it is the first evaluation of its kind for Peru’s Juntos.

Do boys eat better than girls in India? Longitudinal evidence on dietary diversity and food consumption disparities among children and adolescents

This paper examines the dynamics of gender-based disparities in the intra-household allocation of food during childhood and adolescence in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana by using three rounds of longitudinal data from two cohorts. While boys are advantaged at all ages (except for the Younger Cohort at 12 years old), the pro-boy gap widens markedly at 15 years old. Specifically, mid-adolescent girls tend to consume fewer protein- and vitamin-rich foods such as eggs, legumes, root vegetables and fruit.
