An important component of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps), the flagship conditional cash transfer (CCT) program of the Philippines, is the delivery of complementary services such as Family Development Sessions (FDS) and Youth Development Sessions (YDS) to program beneficiaries. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, these were regular face-to-face sessions providing practical information on topics such as parenting, early childhood care, and disaster preparedness to adult beneficiaries and guidance on adolescent dynamics to young children in 4Ps households, with the overall aim of promoting positive behavioral changes. This technical note examines the process undertaken to enhance and align the content of the FDS and YDS based on the 4Ps law that mandates a maximum 7-year operational period, and it discusses feedback and insights from beneficiaries and implementers. Moreover, it considers the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and related lockdowns, which have led to mobility restrictions among beneficiaries and implementers since March 2020. Due to the pandemic, the delivery of FDS have relied mostly on broadcast and social media platforms, with options for small group neighborhood sessions in areas with low rates of COVID-19 infections, while YDS have been mostly suspended due to school closures nationwide, without in-person gathering. For a more effective delivery of these learning sessions, this policy note proposes key recommendations on adapting to future shocks and emerging beneficiary needs, developing strategic communications, mobilizing resources, strengthening monitoring and evaluation, and connecting to core values. In particular, it proposes regular updating of module content to maintain relevance and applicability, strengthening alternative modes of program delivery to increase coverage, providing training to facilitators to improve capacity, raising awareness to increase program uptake, creating a clear monitoring and evaluation system to track progress, leveraging the use of technology, and providing post-program exit support to sustain positive behavioral changes among beneficiaries.

More children born today will survive to adulthood than at any time in history. It is now time to emphasize health and development in middle childhood and adolescence-- developmental phases that are critical to health in adulthood and the next generation. This publication explores the benefits that accrue from sustained and targeted interventions across the first two decades of life. The volume outlines the investment case for effective, costed, and scalable interventions for low-resource settings, emphasizing the cross-sectoral role of education. This evidence base can guide policy makers in prioritizing actions to promote survival, health, cognition, and physical growth throughout childhood and adolescence.--

Adolescents in Sub-Saharan Africa have some of the highest rates of intimate partner violence across the globe. This paper evaluates the impact of a randomized controlled trial that offers females a goal setting activity to improve their sexual and reproductive health outcomes and offers their male partners a soccer intervention, which educates and inspires young men to make better sexual and reproductive health choices. Both interventions reduce female reports of intimate partner violence. Impacts are larger among females who were already sexually active at baseline. The paper develops a game theoretic model to understand the mechanisms at play. In line with the model, the soccer intervention improves male attitudes around violence and sexual and reproductive health and reduces sexual activity. In the goal setting arm, females take more control of their sexual and reproductive health by exiting violent relationships. Females in this arm have higher quality partners at endline.

How do economic conditions such as poverty, unemployment, inflation, and economic growth impact youth violence? Economics and Youth Violence provides a much-needed new perspective on this crucial issue. Pinpointing the economic factors that are most important, the editors and contributors in this volume explore how different kinds of economic issues impact children, adolescents, and their families, schools, and communities. Offering new and important insights regarding the relationship between macroeconomic conditions and youth violence across a variety of times and places, chapters cover such issues as the effect of inflation on youth violence; new quantitative analysis of the connection between race, economic opportunity, and violence; and the cyclical nature of criminal backgrounds and economic disadvantage among families. Highlighting the complexities in the relationship between economic conditions, juvenile offenses, and the community and situational contexts in which their connections are forged, Economics and Youth Violence prompts important questions that will guide future research on the causes and prevention of youth violence.

Si les différences entre les sexes sont largement questionnées depuis les années 70, l’analyse des « coulisses » de la fabrication des identités féminines à partir de l’adolescence n’a fait jusqu’ici l’objet que de très peu de recherches sociologiques. L’itinéraire adolescent constitue pourtant une période charnière de composition des identités de sexe. L’ouvrage de Caroline Moulin s’articule autour d’une analyse de la presse pour adolescentes, qui, en ce qu’elle se fait l’écho des grands modèles de féminité, permet de saisir le contexte culturel dans lequel les filles doivent se fabriquer une identité marquée par la sexualisation de leurs parcours de vie. Une cinquantaine d’entretiens menés auprès d’adolescentes permet ensuite de comprendre comment les filles appréhendent et exploitent ces modèles sexués, ainsi que la manière dont elles se construisent dans le cadre confiné de l’entre-soi féminin. Il s’agit en définitive de mettre en lumière les différents enjeux identitaires à l’œuvre dans le cadre du repli homolatique, c’est-à-dire du repli sur le groupe restreint de pairs ; les fonctions du pouvoir grandissant des « copines » au détriment de l’autorité parentale, l’évolution des réseaux de sociabilité (la découverte inédite de l’autre sexe), les expérimentations (corporelles, amoureuses, sexuelles…). L’ouvrage de Caroline Moulin interroge également le sens des différences sexuées à l’adolescence. Quelles fonctions sociales les filles leur accordent-elles ? À une époque où l’égalité entre les sexes se pose comme l’un des principes de démocratie, les adolescentes ne comprennent-elles les différences qu’en termes d’« inégalités »?
