DESCRIPTION:An inter-disciplinary\,  mixed-methods\, longitudinal study ac
 ross four low- and middle-income countries\, Young Lives was designed with
  the objective of reducing childhood poverty. This has meant developing an
  explicit theory of change and ensuring that the research dissemination st
 rategy and governance and partnership structures are geared towards maximi
 sing impact. But the theoretical\, conceptual\, and practical challenges a
 re many\, as this talk highlights.\nSpeakers:\nProfessor Jo Boyden (Direct

DESCRIPTION:Many women in Africa are congregated in poorly paid and precar
 ious work (ILO\, 2016) and have very high rates of school dropout and mate
 rnal mortality and child morbidity. This is crucially linked to their role
  in childbirth and child-care. Women and girls still perform the bulk of u
 npaid domestic and care work\, severely limiting their access to work with
  fair working conditions. Across a diverse continent\, empowering women an
 d achieving decent work is a vital element in developing dynamic economies
  that include the full political and social citizenship of women\, while s
 upporting their care-giving roles.\n\nThis lecture focuses on young women 
 (aged 15-24)\, who are at the cusp of reproduction and production. Drawing
  on the rich data sets collected by Young Lives in Ethiopia\, Professor Jo
  Boyden\, Director of Young Lives\, & Professor Sandra Fredman\, Director 
 of the Oxford Human Rights Hub\, examine transitions of adolescent girls a
 nd boys from education to labour markets and how their opportunities are s
 haped by other intersecting transitions (family formation\, marriage and p
 arenthood). On the basis of this evidence\, they will consider the role of
  legal frameworks in obstructing or facilitating women’s access to decen
 t working conditions\, the social support for care-giving roles\, and ways
  of interrupting intergenerational transmission of poverty. \n\nJoin in on
