Children and Youth in Crisis
The successful development of children and young people requires that we protect and nurture a set of interrelated physiological, cognitive, and socio-emotional systems. What happens to these systems in early life can have long-term consequences and can even carry over to the next generation. The impact of economic crises on human development is similarly complex and heterogeneous. Some families and some young people display astonishing resilience - either by being comparatively unscathed by cri...

Surveys, interviews, and psychological assessments conducted by the authors during repeated visits to Kenya and...

By taking us inside the lives of young N...
