Abstract:

In this talk, I re-count major findings about child growth, care-giving, discipline, housing, and labor from 41 under researched and underserved developing countries around the globe. The data draw from the 2005-2010 round of the UNICEF Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey. In addition, I draw implications for advancing child development in each one of these domains..
