This paper presents results from a randomized controlled trial whereby approximately 1,000 OLPC XO laptops were provided for home use to children attending primary schools in Lima, Peru. The intervention increased access and of computers, with some substitution away computer outside the home. Children receive scored about 0.8 standard deviations higher test proficiency but showed lower academic effort as reported by teachers. There no impacts on achievement or cognitive skills measured...
Early life growth failure and resulting cognitive deficits are often assumed to be very difficult reverse after infancy. We used data from Young Lives, which is an observational cohort of 8062 children in Ethiopia, India, Peru, Vietnam, determine whether changes infancy associated with schooling achievement at age 8 y. represented the by height-for-age z score 1 y [HAZ(1)] that was not predicted HAZ(1). also characterized as recovered (stunted y), faltered (not stunted persistently ages or...
Although many countries are aggressively implementing the One Laptop per Child (OLPC) program, there is a lack of empirical evidence on its effects. This paper presents impact first large-scale randomized evaluation OLPC using data collected after 15 months implementation in 319 primary schools rural Peru. The results indicate that program increased ratio computers student from 0. 12 to 1. 18 treatment schools. expansion access translated into substantial increases use both at school and...
This paper presents results from a large-scale randomized evaluation of the One Laptop per Child program, using data collected after 15 months implementation in 318 primary schools rural Peru. The program increased ratio computers student 0.12 to 1.18 treatment schools. expansion access translated into substantial increases use both at school and home. No evidence is found effects on test scores math language. There some evidence, though inconclusive, about positive general cognitive skills....
Abstract The relation between indices of neonatal iron status and individual differences in temperament were investigated a sample 148 low‐income Peruvian women their newborn infants. Using cord blood, at birth we obtained measures ferritin, serum iron, hemoglobin. While neonates still the hospital, behavior during structured anthropometry examination was videotaped subsequently coded on four dimensions: activity level, negative emotionality, alertness, soothability. same dimensions using...
A randomized, controlled trial measured the short-term impact of Peruvian school breakfast programme on diet, attendance, and cognition fourth- fifth-graders. Ten schools rural outskirts Andean city Huaraz were randomly assigned to a control or treatment group. The significantly increased (p <.01) dietary intakes energy by 15.2%, protein 16.1%, iron 60%, improved rates attendance. Analysis covariance also showed performance vocabulary test among heavier children, as indicated positive...

Children from low socio-economic status (SES) households often demonstrate worse growth and developmental outcomes than wealthier children, in part because poor children face a broader range of risk factors. It is difficult to characterize the trajectories SES disparities low- middle-income countries longitudinal data are infrequently available. We analyze measures children's linear (height) at ages 1, 5, 8 12y receptive language (Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test) Ethiopia, India, Peru...
Using Young Lives longitudinal data from Peru, this paper explores the relationship between socioeconomic status (SES) measured at age of one, opportunities to learn (OTL) and achievement in mathematics ten years later. Four variables OTL were measured: hours class per year, curriculum coverage, quality teachers' feedback, level cognitive demand. The last three through an analysis exercises attempted by fourth grade students their notebooks workbooks. Multivariate showed a robust association...
Background: Adolescents’ social relationships might partly explain the increased risk of mental health problems in adolescents living poorer economic circumstances. There are few studies low-and middle-income countries where most worlds’ live.
