Reaching the last child: Evidence from Young Lives India
This summative country report draws upon 15 years of evidence captured by the Young Lives study in India
Abstract
This summative country report draws upon 15 years of evidence captured by the Young Lives study in India. It provides an overview and synthesis of a much more detailed evidence base, much of which can be found on the project website. Some new analysis has been completed for this report to bring it right up to date. Many of the findings are drawn from journal articles and working papers which have been subject to separate review processes.
Young Lives ran parallel to the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and utilised mixed methods consisting of surveys, in-depth interviews and focus groups to improve understanding of the causes and consequences of childhood poverty, and to examine how policies affect children’s well-being. Drawing upon significant information gathered about children’s experiences as they transition from early childhood to adolescence and early adulthood, this report attempts to capture and highlight key findings from various papers, policy briefs and journal articles written over the period since 2002.
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
