Young Lives has conducted three rounds of COVID-19 phone surveys with two age cohorts of youth in Ethiopia, India (Andhra Pradesh and Telangana states), Peru and Vietnam. The surveys capture broadly the impacts of the pandemic on young people and their households (eg, education, work, income, domestic violence, mental wellbeing, COVID-19 knowledge, etc.) but these surveys do not record child marriage (not least because the cohorts are aged 19 and 26). The headline reports of the second call are just out and can be found in the link column.
