TRANSITIONS TO ADULTHOOD
In 1997, a nationally representative survey of 9,128 adolescents and their parents was conducted in Egypt. The goal of the survey was to establish a comprehensive profile of adolescent life in Egypt. Information was conducted on health, education, work roles, and daily activities. A subsample was asked about their nutrition, reproductive health knowledge and attitudes, household gender dynamics, and expectations regarding future responsibilities and roles within marriage. Urine, stool, and blood samples were also collected. A special survey was administered to married adolescent women in the survey households. This report highlights key findings from the initial data analysis. More information on survey findings will be available in the forthcoming summary report. Major survey topics will also be addressed in a series of in-depth monographs. Subsequent publications will include multivariate analyses, an in-depth look at the sample of boy-girl sibling pairs within the sample, and linked analyses with other data on schooling, youth livelihoods, and marriage negotiation. | |||||||||||
