Abstract

This Young Lives impact case study details the influence of Young Lives on the design and methodology of other studies.

In overview:

  • Young Lives’ robust and innovative methodology has informed the design of a significant number of important studies worldwide.

  • Studies influenced include UNICEF’ Global Longitudinal Research Initiative (GLORI), the Global Early Adolescence Study (GEAS), and the Department for International Development’ (DFID)’ Research into Improving Systems of Education (RISE) programme.

  • Young Lives has also had significant impact on research ethics considerations, including using informed consent with children in low-income countries, in these and other studies. We have acted as an exemplar for other studies to follow, and our methods have been used widely in the teaching of ethics.

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
