Much is made of the heightened brain plasticity and emotional responsiveness during this period, wherein learning and adaptation are accelerated. This is the primary rationale for viewing adolescence as a second critical window for policy interventions to build on investments in early life and boost later chances. Indeed, there has been considerable policy momentum around adolescent sexual and reproductive health, community engagement, and labour market readiness. Adolescents are also touched by many of the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly SDG 4 on quality education and SDG 8 on decent work and economic growth.","PeriodicalId":174485,"journal":{"name":"Tracing the Consequences of Child Poverty","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125654465","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It focuses on two core development concerns: under-nutrition, and preschool circumstances and interventions. The Young Lives countries show progress in stunting reduction, notably in Peru where reducing under-nutrition has been given national importance. The ongoing prevalence of stunting nevertheless is a clear channel through which poverty in childhood results in disadvantaged development. Interventions to improve early childhood circumstances have been shown to work for the poorest children. Indeed, nutritional supplementation has been found to support healthy growth, especially for young children and poorer children. Interventions to support infants also have the potential to support mothers and primary caregivers. As these findings suggest, to ensure their survival, health, and development, young children need a multi-sectoral response.","PeriodicalId":174485,"journal":{"name":"Tracing the Consequences of Child Poverty","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124994138","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although youth and adolescence continue to be used indistinctly, they are divergent concepts since they come from two ways of looking at young people and propose different approaches and interpretations from their problems. The objective of the text is to mark the divergent trajectory of both concepts, to trace their genealogy and to enter the regime of truth that sustains the representations, institutional practices and the common sense of the population towards the youth of the 21st century. We discuss the problems that these notions pose to the recording and interpretation of contemporary youth behaviors in the face of the last great change in the social reference regime and two case studies of segments of Mexican youth are presented to illustrate the difficulties and the possible theoretical solutions to the current impasse between theory and reality.","PeriodicalId":174485,"journal":{"name":"Tracing the Consequences of Child Poverty","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125278569","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Child development is fundamentally shaped by the national, community, and family contexts in which children live, and by the relationships within which skills, beliefs, and wellbeing are fostered. As such, fully understanding children's development through the life course requires a broad framework that includes attention to the many structures and processes affecting caregivers, families, and households, as these in turn affect children. The bioecological model provides the core conceptual basis for the Young Lives study, identifying the many layers and influences on children's development, and encouraging an analysis of how those wider structural determinants shape poverty and inequalities facing children. Since the cascade approach helps explain how advantages and disadvantages accumulate, it provides a policy tool to assess the factors that make the greatest difference for which children and at which point in their lives.","PeriodicalId":174485,"journal":{"name":"Tracing the Consequences of Child Poverty","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125321417","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is done by introducing a new approach, Latent Growth Modelling, which allows the analysis to go further by simultaneously evaluating multiple paths that affected children's development, over the five survey rounds, and deciding which were relatively more important. The model is applied to the Younger Cohort and the aim is to illustrate the operation of developmental cascades for changes in receptive vocabulary and mathematics abilities. These models are especially suitable in the case of Young Lives because they bring together 15 years of longitudinal evidence and are tested across the four study countries. The chapter then uses the findings both from the earlier chapters and the modelling presented here to lay out a positive developmental cascade for transitions to adulthood. This provides a framework for action based on Young Lives data, regarding what mattered most and when.","PeriodicalId":174485,"journal":{"name":"Tracing the Consequences of Child Poverty","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125407658","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Young Lives was set up during a period of optimism for global development associated with the Millennium Declaration, with the aim of informing the Millennium Development Goals to reduce poverty. At the time, data on child poverty in low- and middle-income countries were scarce and inconsistent. It was clear, however, that this was a very significant problem. Young Lives has been collecting detailed information on a wide range of topics — including health, nutrition, education, time use, and psychosocial wellbeing — from 12,000 boys and girls living in diverse sites across the four study countries, as well as from schools attended by some of the children.

There have been many positive developments, as poverty levels and stunting rates have declined, and infrastructure and service access improved. Intergenerational progress has also been observed, with many children experiencing better health and more education than the previous generation. Gender inequalities in access to education have decreased and more young women are able to delay marriage and parenthood. Moreover, new technologies have brought many benefits, expanding children's horizons. However, significant social and economic disparities persist, and children in rural areas and from minority groups continue to face disadvantages across many aspects of their lives.","PeriodicalId":174485,"journal":{"name":"Tracing the Consequences of Child Poverty","volume":"115 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132134967","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
