This report presents initial findings from Round 3 of the Young Lives survey of children and poverty carried out in Andhra Pradesh in late 2009, supplemented by information from more in-depth interviews with a sub-sample of the children in 2008 and 2010. The main objectives of the report are to describe the key preliminary results obtained from Round 3, analyse the changes in the profile of child poverty in Andhra Pradesh since Round 1, and identify the key policy messages. The report does not aim to give a comprehensive overview of all the findings from Young Lives. Rather it gives a broad outline of some of the key indicators of childhood poverty and changes that have taken place in lives of the children in the sample over the seven years between Round 1 of data collection in 2002 and Round 3 in 2009.
