4. THE CASE FOR A
LIFECYCLE
APPROACH
01.
Intervene at most relevant stage to
change trajectory/prevent decline
02.
Changing vulnerabilities
03.
More accurate understanding of
impacts and cost-effectiveness of
programming
5. 1.
INTERVENE AT
MOST RELEVANT
STAGE TO CHANGE
TRAJECTORY/
PREVENT DECLINE
01.
A shock can knock a child off their trajectory, onto a
lower one.
02.
Consequences for:
cognition, education → earnings → intergenerational
cycle of poverty
03.
You can’t fully remediate shocks in early childhood
Windows of opportunity:
1. Early childhood
2. Adolescence
6. 2.
CHANGING
VULNERABILTIES:
ADOLESCENCE
01.
Adolescence: period where trajectories start to diverge
• opportunities constrained
• gender socialization intensifies
02.
Poverty drives adverse coping strategies at the
household- and individual-level
• Adverse outcomes (Early marriage, child labor,
violence, etc) driven by poverty and often related to
girls’ sexual and reproductive health vulnerability
• Compounded by social norms, barriers to healthcare,
etc.
03.
Adolescence provides a second window of opportunity;
new research on plasticity of the brian

UNDERSTANDING
LONGER TERM
IMPACTS
Latin America
Conditional cash transfer (CCTs) receipt to households
in childhood increased subsequent educational
attainment and labor market outcomes [with varying
results by country and sometimes gender (Millán,
Barham, Macours, Maluccio, & Stampini, 2018;
Neidhofer & Nino-Zarazua, 2017; Parker & Vogl,
2018)], including increases in:
• income,
• hours worked,
• probability of engaging in off-farm work
• how is this affecting gender norms?
Note: Coverage corresponds to the sum of persons protected by contributory schemes and recipients of contributory and
non‑contributory benefits expressed as a percentage of the total population. Regional and global estimates weighted by the
number of people. Health protection is not included under SDG indicator 1.3.1. Data for other regions are not sufficient to allow
for regional estimates. See also Annex II.
Ortiz, Cummins and Karunanethy, 2017: 8 Financing Options for SP
Reallocating public expenditures
Increasing tax revenues
3) Expanding social security coverage and contributory revenues
4) Lobbying for aid and transfers
5) Eliminating illicit financial flows
6) Using fiscal and central bank foreign exchange reserves
7) Managing debt: borrowing or restructuring existing debt
8) Adopting a more accommodating macroeconomic framework
