Explore the stunting trajectories of our Younger Cohort individuals (born in 2001-02):
The bars show the percentage of children at each age who are classified as being stunted or not stunted based on their height, those who change from being stunted to not being stunted (i.e. recovered) and from being not stunted to stunted (i.e. faltered) between consequent survey rounds. Note that this visualisation filters to show one country at a time, and can be explored by child sex, household wealth and location in 2002. For information on how we define these variables, please find our data dictionary below.
| Label | Description |
| Location | Household's location in round 5 (2016) survey. The sentinel sites and communities that households were sampled from in 2016 were defined as urban or rural, based on administrative definitions in each country. |
| Household wealth | Household's wealth in round 5 (2016) survey computed using the Young Lives Wealth Index disaggregated into terciles (top, middle, bottom). The Young Lives Wealth Index is a composite index measuring households' access to services such as water and sanitation, their ownership of consumer durables such as refrigerators, and the quality of floor, roof, and wall materials in their dwelling. Households in each cohort of the Young Lives survey were categorised into terciles based on their wealth index in 2002, with the households with lowest wealth belonging to the bottom tercile, and those with the highest wealth belonging to the top tercile. |

Studying: Average hours spent at school/college/university (including all time spent, not only attending hours, and travelling time, out and return), studying at home, and extra tuition outside the home.

Working (unpaid): Average hours spent doing tasks on family farm, cattle herding (household and/or community), other family business, shepherding, piecework or handicrafts done at home (not just farming).
