Abstract

This policy brief presents findings from the second round of data collection which included 30 in-depth interviews with adolescents living in three sites in Dhaka. Findings show inequalities in access to and continuation of distance education, negative effects in psychosocial well-being, unequal access to digital connectivity, financial constraints, with inequalities between different socio-economic classes, gender and age groups, which put them at risk of discontinuing education, entering into child labour and also early marriage.” This research is part of the Gender and Adolescence: Global Evidence (GAGE) programme, a 9-year, mixed methods longitudinal research and evaluation programme following the lives of 20,000 adolescents in 6 low- and middle-income countries
