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.

ISST New Podcast

I thought that it might be useful to have a thread where members can just post web references to posts that have been made on other sites.

To start it off, I found this today:

Stop! Mind the gender gap in development discourses

Gender equality seems to have lost its resonance in recent discourses on development. Lessons from experiences in implementing the Millennium Development Goals show that countries can experience different levels of economic growth but still suffer from massive social and economic inequalities. This post recommends that it is time to pause and include gender equality as a cross-cutting theme and an anchor of development agendas if we are to attain balanced development outcomes.

Do comment and let members know if this is useful for your work.
