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.
Thanks for adding me as a friend and also for registering to EvalForward sometime ago (please feel free to add your photo btw). The IMA courses look very interesting indeed I shared with my colleagues dealing with training.
Keep in touch, and here is my email in case: renata.mirulla@fao.org
