Social Protection For All Ages? Impacts of Ethiopia’s Productive Safety Net Programme on Child Nutrition

Highlights An Ethiopian public works program improves child nutrition in the medium term. We do not find significant differences in impact between children aged 5, 8, and 15. Impacts associated with improved household food security and fall in child labor. Height-for-age captures medium-term program impact better than consumption. Abstract

Rural–Urban Child Height for Age Trajectories and Their Heterogeneous Determinants in Four Developing Countries

The large literature on health differentials between rural and urban areas relies almost exclusively on cross-sectional data. Bringing together the demographic literature on area-level health inequalities with the bio-physiological literature on children’s catch-up growth over time, this paper uses panel data to investigate the stability and origins of rural–urban health differentials.

Socio-economic Status and Early Childhood Cognitive Skills

This article documents differences in cognitive development, as measured by the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (PPVT), between children from households with high and low socioeconomic status (SES) in two different phases of early childhood in four developing countries. A large number of potential mediators, such as urban residence, preschool attendance, early nutrition, caregiver’s education, and primary school attendance are discussed.

Does access to sanitation and drinking water facilities relate to students’ learning outcomes? Evidence from Andhra Pradesh, India

Indian students fall substantially behind students from other countries in academic performance. A majority of students in India also do not have access to usable toilets and drinking water facilities. Some literature suggests that access to sanitation and
drinking water facilities is related to education outcomes, such as school enrollment rates, school attendance rates, and students’ cognitive functions.

Learning Outcomes of Children Aged 12 in Ethiopia: A Comparison of Two Cohorts

This paper examines inequality of learning outcomes among children of the same age (age 12) but seven years apart – in 2006 and 2013. It employs statistical analysis and uses data from the Young Lives Older Cohort who were aged 12 in 2006 (Round 2 of the Young Lives survey) and the Younger Cohort who were aged 12 in 2013 (Round 4), focusing on the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (PPVT), mathematics and common reading test results.

Teenage Marriage, Fertility, and Well-being: Panel Evidence from India

This paper uses a unique dataset from Andhra Pradesh, tracking a cohort of children who were born in 1994–95 from the ages of 8 to 19 years, to ask three key questions about teenage marriage and fertility in India. First, what predicts getting married during the teen years? Second, what predicts having given birth by 19?
