WUNRN Note: These are two significant research
reports; but like many, have no gender disaggregated data or text gender focus.

Gender Statistics, and gender disaggregates on
research, are important tools for

gender advocates, policy makers, and others working
on gender related issues.

Africa’s
Orphaned and Vulnerable Generations: Children affected by AIDS shows how
the AIDS epidemic continues to affect children disproportionately and in many
harmful ways, making them more vulnerable than other children, leaving many of
them orphaned, and threatening their survival. Released by UNICEF, UNAIDS and
PEPFAR (The US President’s Emergency Program for AIDS Relief), the report
contains new and improved research on orphans and vulnerable children, including
what governments, NGOs, the private sector and the international community
can do to better respond.

Abstract
There is an increasing amount of research focussing
on the transition to adulthood, a stage of the life cycle where young
people face demanding life decisions, including completion of education,
finding stable employment, and establishing their household and family.
Whereas there is a well-developed literature on poverty among households
in general, very little research has focused on poverty among young
adults. Using the European Community Household Panel (ECHP) we provide a
detailed description of youth poverty in Europe. Across the European Union
youth poverty varies greatly, being higher in Southern European countries,
as well as in the ‘liberal’ regimes of the UK and Ireland. However, there
are also large variations in the extent of youth poverty within countries,
between what we might term “younger youth” (aged 16-19) and “older youth”
aged (25-29). In the UK, poverty rates among “younger youth” are much
higher than among “older youth”, suggesting that poverty among young
people is closely associated with child poverty. In the Scandinavian
countries, poverty peaks dramatically in the early twenties, indicating
that in these countries, poverty is associated with leaving home.
