The Young Lives team presented at the major conference organised by the Society for Longitudinal and Life-course Studies and the European Network of Cohort Studies (EUCCONET & SLLS 2012) in Paris from 29-31 October.
Learning in Poverty: Evidence from a linked household and school panel study
Session A10. Wednesday 31 October 2012, 11.50-12.50
This symposium draws upon analysis of data from Young Lives to examine issues relating the development of cognitive and non-cognitive skills among children to key issues of educational access, quality and equity. Papers will focus on the evolving relationships between household and school-level advantage during childhood, including those determining access to private schools, learning gains made, and the influence of peer groupings on children’s skill development. The papers also attend to methodological issues common to the four countries and to OECD countries and explore commonalities in research findings across contexts.
Papers
Going Private: Household Characteristics and Private School Choice: Evidence from a Longitudinal Two-Cohort Study in Andhra Pradesh, India, Martin Woodhead, Melanie Frost and Zoe James
The Impact of Peer Performance on Child School Primary School Attainment in Vietnam, Sofya Krutikova, Manasa Patnam and Caine Rolleston
