Abstract

皇冠体育app Young Lives Ethiopia Country Report presents results from a 15-year longitudinal study, which followed two cohorts of children in 20 sites selected from the five main regions of Ethiopia, from 2002 to 2016, as a component of a larger multi-country project. 皇冠体育app research followed one cohort as they grew from infancy to adolescence (aged one to 15), and the second as they grew from early childhood to early adulthood (aged 8 to 22). 皇冠体育app study relates conditions early in the lives of children to later outcomes, and so improves understanding of the effects of poverty on children鈥檚 life trajectories. It also provides information on the effects of policies and changes on the lives of children, and offers evidence-based guidance for policies to improve children鈥檚 chances of developing into integrated and productive members of society.

皇冠体育app report first outlines the Young Lives project and the context in which the Ethiopian study took place, including the engagement between researchers and the Ethiopian government鈥檚 efforts to improve the lives of its children. It presents key findings and policy implications on four main areas of study: poverty dynamics; child health and nutrition; education and learning; and wellbeing and child protection. 皇冠体育app report concludes with implications of the findings for future policy,and the benefits of continuing the research.

Young Lives is an international study of childhood poverty, following the lives of 12,000 children in 4 countries (Ethiopia, India, Peru and Vietnam) over 15 years. Young Lives is funded by the UK Department for International Development
