This report presents key findings from over 20 years of quantitative and qualitative research by Young Lives on nutrition, health and well-being, exploring how widening inequalities – exacerbated by shocks and crises – affect the resilience of vulnerable young people and threaten to reverse recent gains in health and well-being, with consequences extending to the next generation. 

It also highlights Young Lives’ significant contributions to health and well-being policy debates, showcases impact case studies, presents the latest trends in physical and mental health from a preliminary analysis of Round 7 data and sets out unique opportunities for future research.
