Poverty, Gender, and Youth

This review of reviews aimed to assess what interventions, especially group-based interventions, show promise in economically empowering adolescent girls and young women in low and middle-income countries (LMICs).

Most intervention–outcome pairings were unknown; that is, …

For girls to achieve well-being in early and late adolescence, no single-sector intervention—whether it be education, health, wealth creation, or …
