Abstract
This report uses Young Lives longitudinal data to examine how gender differences in socioemotional skills emerge throughout adolescence, and the socioeconomic and cultural factors that may explain these gaps in Ethiopia, India, Peru and Vietnam.
The authors conclude that gender differences in socioemotional skills probably emerge as the result of cultural norms. These differences are likely to have implications for the roles men and women choose.
This is an output of the Young Lives at Work Programme.
