Listening to young people鈥檚 voices under covid-19: Bangladesh: Round 2
Revisiting the impact of covid-19 on adolescents in urban slums in Dhaka, Bangladesh: Round 2
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.鈥�
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
