Resource Pack: Global Children's Health
2017
This resource pack on children’s health was curated by the Global Health Education and Learning Incubator. Over the past several decades, countries across the world have made significant strides in reducing the number of children who die before they are five years old. As more children survive past childbirth and into adolescence, many countries have experienced a “youth bulge,” where a large share of the overall population are children and young adults. These shifts in population dynamics—who lives, who dies, and who moves around—warrant a closer look at the health and well-being of children and youth in these environments. This collection includes resources that describe pressing challenges that children worldwide experience, from infectious disease and malnutrition, to displacement, chronic disease, mental illness, and exploitation. Materials in the collection also focus on the unique strengths and capacities of children and youth to participate in the economic, social, and political lives of the communities in which they live.
