Abstract

Middle childhood (approximately 6-12 years old) is a crucial time for developing cognitive and socio emotional competencies, and economic crises can affect children's development with long-lasting consequences for adolescence and adulthood. This note provides an overview of how economic shocks can affect children and their environment, and how policies and programs can protect and promote the child's development in the face of adversity. Negative impact of crises on learning and other outcomes can be prevented and mitigated through targeted investments at the family and school level.
