Astha Ramaiya Co-author Article in Journal of Adolescence

The article, led by Linnea Zimmerman examines how opportunity structures (parental influence and neighborhood context) affects individual agency among boys and girls in Kinshasa, DRC. We used longitudinal data to identify three distinct groups for boys and girls in each domain. Parental monitoring was associated with the development of both domains for boys, but showed no association for girls. Conversely, parental closeness was more strongly associated with development for girls, than for boys. Neighborhood safety was associated with greater Voice and Freedom of Movement for both boys and girls.

Event Description

Building resilience of vulnerable populations is increasingly important for development and humanitarian agencies. To effectively target interventions, rigorous methods are needed to measure resilience at household and community levels. In this webinar we will introduce a novel approach for measuring resilience, aiming to distinguish it from other kinds of improvement or recovery over time. We apply the new metric to nutritional data for women and children from Nepal, Bangladesh, and Uganda, and discuss its value alongside other indicators used to guide agriculture and nutrition interventions.
