| Resumo: | This fact sheet presents preliminary findings from the fifth round of the Young Lives survey in Peru in 2016. Young Lives is a longitudinal study of childhood poverty that has followed two cohorts of children since 2002, most recently focusing on our Older Cohort (22-year-olds in 2016) to explore issues related to educational attainment and labour market participation. Our data show striking differences by socio‑economic background and by gender in terms of who is able to access higher education, job training, and other forms of human capital investment. Young parents – especially women – are those with the worst prospects in the labour market. These differences will lead to significant income inequalities in the future between the most and least advantaged. |
