Changing Children's Lives: Risks and Opportunities

Child development and happiness are greatly influenced by the environment of the family and the community, and the children who are left behind by the poor and society have greater risk. This article summarizes the new findings of Young Lives, shows how children's development in the first decade of the 21st century is affected by various environmental influences, including changes in risks and opportunities I emphasize.

We show how ways to reduce poverty and improve access to services and school education alleviate some of the risks and create new opportunities for many children. But in the context of an overall improvement in living standards there are also three core areas where the poorest children are abandoned.

First, by improving the quality, effectiveness and relevance of schools, it is necessary to expand the educational system and the ambitions of children and their parents. Given that the existing quality and school environment are significantly different and it is possible to worsen or mitigate all the disadvantages children have encountered, not all children can benefit from the increase in number of enrollments .

Secondly, children living in the poorest areas may experience various inconveniences such as remote areas of rural areas, weak infrastructure and services, poor quality education, less access to modern technology . In order to deal with the heterogeneous development process, it is not necessary to target individual families, but a regional policy is needed.

Third, the process of social change of attitudes and desires bring new opportunities for children and change expectations for future roles and responsibilities. At the same time, new tensions and social risks emerge, especially for girls and young women. Policies that address social norms need to take into account a wider structure that affects children and families, such as poverty and gender. Enabling young people to use high-quality education, health services, and employment opportunities is an important element to reduce obsession with traditional customs.

We believe that creating a supportive environment for the development of children requires focusing on the communities experiencing multiple disadvantages and tackling undesirable structural causes . This is the background of the post 2015 environment and is the background for developing effective social policy to ensure that "no one is left behind".

"Early education is at risk, not only to reduce expenses and staff shortages but also to policies that change teacher education methods and children's learning opportunities.These policies are based on research and evidence Rather than being a government, the government says that baseline testing is necessary to judge the progress the children attained at the end of elementary school, they want to use test data, they learn infants and It will be pushed to the world of high risk assessment inconsistent with development.

Child development and happiness are greatly influenced by the environment of the family and the community, and the children who are left behind by the poor and society have greater risk.

Introduction The United States endangered generations and died unnecessarily. As we educate our children to be knowledgeable, responsible, considerate, and contributing individuals, our country aspires to realize the dream of equal opportunity for all people It is.
