Innocenti Working Papers Early-life Exposure to Income Inequality and Adolescent Health and Well-being: Evidence from the Health Behaviour in School-aged Children Study AUTHOR(S) Frank J. Elgar; Candace Currie Published: 2016 Innocenti Working Papers Children and adolescents living in relative poverty – regardless of overall material conditions – tend to experience more interpersonal violence, family turmoil, and environmental hazards that increase risk of injury, engage in more health compromising behaviours (e.g., physical inactivity, poor nutrition, smoking), report lower subjective well-being, and exhibit more social skills deficits and emotional and behavioural problems. + - Cite this publication | No. of pages: 32 | Thematic area: Adolescents, Child Poverty, Health, Industrialized Countries, Social determinants | Tags: adolescents, children, health, health conditions, income distribution × COPY BIBLIOGRAPHIC CITATION Frank J.

Innocenti Working Papers Does Market Access Mitigate the Impact of Seasonality on Child Growth? Panel data evidence from northern Ethiopia AUTHOR(S) Kibrewossen Abay; Kalle Hirvonen Published: 2016 Innocenti Working Papers Seasonality in agricultural production continues to shape intra-annual food availability and prices in low-income countries. Using high-frequency panel data from northern Ethiopia, this study attempts to quantify seasonal fluctuations in children's weights. In line with earlier studies, we document considerable seasonality in children’s age and height adjusted weights. While children located closer to local food markets are better nourished compared to their counterparts residing in more remote areas, their weights are also subject to considerable seasonality. Further analysis provides evidence that children located closer to food markets consume more diverse diets than those located farther away. This leads us to conclude that households located near these food markets are not able to insulate their children from seasonal weight fluctuations. + - Cite this publication | No. of pages: 30 | Thematic area: Health, Social determinants | Tags: africa, anthropometric measurements, child nutrition, food consumption, nutrition indicators × COPY BIBLIOGRAPHIC CITATION Kibrewossen Abay; Kalle Hirvonen 2016 Does Market Access Mitigate the Impact of Seasonality on Child Growth?

Innocenti Discussion Papers How Inequalities Develop through Childhood: Life course evidence from the Young Lives cohort study AUTHOR(S) Paul Dornan; Martin Woodhead Published: 2015 Innocenti Discussion Papers This paper contributes longitudinal research evidence on these issues, notably: the impact of structural inequalities on children’s development within households and communities; the ways access to health, education and other key services may reduce or amplify inequalities; and especially evidence on the ways that children’s developmental trajectories diverge from early in life, through to early adulthood. + - Cite this publication | No. of pages: 60 | Thematic area: Child Poverty, Early Childhood, Equity, Social determinants | Tags: development, early childhood development, inequity, methodology, poverty, research methods × COPY BIBLIOGRAPHIC CITATION Paul Dornan; Martin Woodhead 2015 How Inequalities Develop through Childhood: Life course evidence from the Young Lives cohort study. , pp. 60.
