A PROFILE OF ADOLESCENT GIRLS IN NEPAL NEPAL MICS 2014 FURTHER ANALYSIS REPORT ON ADOLESCENTS
Abstract:
In an increasingly globalized and connected world, Nepali adolescents face a number of key and unique challenges to realize their full potential. Based on findings from the latest round of the Nepal Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS), this report sheds light on a number of significant domains for adolescents. In particular, this report focuses on adolescent girls aged 15-19 years. The main purpose of this NMICS further analysis report is to identify the most marginalized and vulnerable groups of adolescents based on sub-group analysis by household characteristics such as wealth, caste/ethnicity, geographic location and where relevant, by education and marital status. While this report does highlight specific aspects of traditional indicators such as education and health, a significant portion of the report is also devoted in identifying gaps in under-explored indicators such as access to media and communication technology, attitude towards wife-beating, knowledge of HIV transmission and prevention, and subjective well-being among adolescent girls. This report is expected to be useful for two purposes. Externally, the report aims to target an array of policy audiences, including government ministries, policymaking bodies, and parliamentary committees to advocate for programming agendas to increase well-being of adolescents, especially in the most marginalized of places. Internal advocacy aims to inform different sections within UNICEF of possible evidence-based interventions targeting adolescents and relying on cross-cutting themes. #Adolescent #HIVAIDS #PoliciesProgram #Sexualreproductive #Health #Marriage #Childbearing
