  1. Multiple Indicator Cluster SurveysData dissemination and further analysis workshop Further Analysis: Youth and Adolescents MICS4 Data dissemination and Further Analysis

  2. Outline • Terminology • Why study youth and adolescents? • What MICS already has to offer • Ideas for further analysis (using Bhutan MICS4 data for examples) • Further thoughts about producing thematic analysis reports

  3. Terminology: who are they? • Adolescents (UN): 10-19 years • (early 10-14, late 15-19) • Youth (UN GA): 15-24 years • Young people (UN GA): 10-24 years • Children (UNICEF): 0-17 years • Adolescents (UNICEF): 10-19 years

  4. Why study youth and adolescents? • Gains in young child survival but later loss in youth and adolescent years • Key focus of programmatic intervention in many countries • A keener focus on the development and human rights of adolescents to enhance and accelerate the fight against poverty, inequality and gender discrimination – State of the Worlds Children 2011

  5. Adolescents account for nearly one fifth of the world’s population Population of adolescents 10-19 years old as a proportion of the total population, by region, 2010

  6. More than half of the world’s adolescents live in Asia Population of adolescents 10-19 years old by region, 2010 Source: United Nations, Department of Economic and Social Affairs, Population Division, World Population Prospects: The 2010 revision, CD-ROM edition, 2011.

  7. By 2050, Sub-Saharan Africa is projected to have more adolescents than any other region Population of adolescents 10-19 years old in millions, by region, 1950-2010

  8. Injuries and neuropsychiatric disorders are major causes of mortality and morbidity among adolescents in all regions Major causes of disease burden in disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) per 1,000 adolescents 10-19 years old, by region and by sex Source: WHO, The Global Burden of Disease: 2004 update, 2008/

  9. How did we arrive at data on youth and adolescents? • Data collected in Household Questionnaire • Direct interviewing • Individual Women Questionnaire administered to women age 15 – 49, a subset of which is 15-24 • When applicable Individual MaleQuestionnaire administered to men age 15 – 49, a subset of which is 15-24 • Retrospective data from Women’s questionnaire – find out about past events that occurred at younger ages e.g. marriage before age 15

  10. What MICS can offer MICS indicators and tables already available covering adolescents and youth (age groups 15-19, 20-24) In MICS Reports: Information already available in existing MICS standard tables for age groups 15-49, 2-14, 5-14, 0-17, etc. Additional information that can be extracted from MICS datasets not covered in the main MICS reports

  11. Additional information that can be extracted from MICS datasets • Percentage of children age 10-17 years not living with a biological parent • Educational attendance for adolescents/youth 10-24 (Adolescents/youth out of school) • Percentage of household members age 10-24 without access to improved drinking water • Percentage of household members age 10-24 without access to improved sanitation facilities

  12. MICS 4 - Added Modules for Youth • Access to media and use of information/ communication technology • Use of alcohol and tobacco • Life satisfaction

  13. Ideas for further analysis

  14. Thematic Analysis on Youth and Adolescents Understanding who youth and adolescents are: • Where they live • How they live: affected by poverty? • With whom they live: alone, nuclear families, extended families

  15. Thematic Analysis on Youth and Adolescents Studying the outcomes for youth and adolescents in health, protection, education, and other issues: • Key: Are they different to adults?

  16. Further Analysis: Living arrangements against other outcomes

  17. Education: Further analysis ideas

  18. Education: Further analysis ideas

  19. Early marriage: Further Analysis

  20. Reproductive and newborn health indicators by age of woman at birth, Bhutan, 2010

  21. Early child bearing: further analysis ideas Early childbearing and mother’s education:

  22. Sexual behavior and HIV: Further Analysis Ideas Associations between sexual behavior in the past 12 month and use of contraception, knowledge of HIV, HIV testing etc.

  23. Attitudes towards domestic violence

  24. Further analysis • Special sub-populations among youth • Eg. 1: Are Urban youth more at risk for poor health outcomes? • Eg. 2: Are children in youth-headed households more deprived of basic needs? Keep in mind the limitations of the data related to sample design and sample size
