| description |
This paper provides relevant indicators
and measurements useful for public policies seeking the
expansion of equitable human development opportunities for
Egyptian children and youth. To measure equitable access to
opportunities, the authors use the Human Opportunity Index
to examine the evolution of 16 basic opportunity indicators
grouped in four sectors: education, basic housing services,
early childhood development, and nutrition and hunger. The
main findings show that during the last decade most
opportunities for children and youth improved
unambiguously,for the first two sectors, but were stagnant
for nutrition and early childhood development opportunities.
Although the urban-rural and interregional gaps were
partially reduced, there are still substantial opportunity
gaps between children in favorable and unfavorable
circumstances. Parents' education, income per capita,
urban-rural location, number of siblings, and regional
location, are the five most important factors affecting
equality of opportunity, although their impact varies across indicators. |
