Gender and Adolescence: Global Evidence: Bangladesh Chittagong and Sylhet Round 2, 2022

<div><span style="font-style: italic;">Gender and Adolescence: Global Evidence</span> (GAGE) is a ten-year (2015-2025) research programme, funded by UK Aid from the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), that seeks to combine longitudinal data collection and a mixed-methods approach to understand the lives of adolescents in particularly marginalized regions of the Global South, and to uncover 'what works' to support the development of their capabilities over the course of the second decade of life, when many of these individuals will go through key transitions such as finishing their education, starting to work, getting married and starting to have children.</div><div><br></div><div>GAGE undertakes longitudinal research in seven countries in Africa (Ethiopia, Rwanda), Asia (Bangladesh, Nepal) and the Middle East (Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine). Sampling adolescent girls and boys aged between 10‐19‐year olds, the quantitative survey follows a global total of 18,000 adolescent girls and boys, and their caregivers and explores the effects that programme have on their lives. This is substantiated by in‐depth qualitative and participatory research with adolescents and their peers. Its policy and legal analysis work stream studies the processes of policy change that influence the investment in and effectiveness of adolescent programming.</div><br>Further information, including publications, can be found on the Overseas Development Institute <a href="https://www.gage.odi.org/" target="_blank">GAGE</a> website. <br><br> <p><span style="font-style: italic;">Gender and Adolescence: Global Evidence: Bangladesh Chittagong and Sylhet Round 2, 2022</span> includes a sample of 2,027 girls and boys aged 12-19. The research sample, composed of randomly selected adolescents and their families, was recruited during February and March 2020 from adolescents attending grades 7 and 8, across 109 government and monthly-pay-order (MPO) schools in the Chittagong and Sylhet Divisions of Bangladesh. <br><br>The Round 2 data were collected in March and April 2022 as part of a randomised evaluation of two virtual interventions delivered during COVID-19-related school closures through the Transforming Secondary Education for Results Operation in partnership with The World Bank: (1) a gender-neutral Growth Mindset (GM) programming around malleable intelligence and (2) Girl Rising (GR) programming that focuses on gender norms around girls' education that is layered on top of the GM programming. <br><br>The first edition only includes the Core Respondent data and does not include data for adolescents living in the intervention locations (66 per cent of the sample). This is due to ongoing research and evaluation. The outstanding data will be released in a future edition, once publications focusing on evaluation of the Round 2 data are finalised.<br><br>Further information about the research site, sample selection, and data collection process is available in the documentation.</p>

《性别与青春期：全球实证研究》（Gender and Adolescence: Global Evidence，简称GAGE）是一项为期十年（2015-2025年）的研究计划，由英国外交、联邦及发展办公室（Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, FCDO）通过英国国际发展援助（UK Aid）资助。该计划旨在结合纵向数据收集与混合研究方法，探究全球南方各边缘地区青少年的生活境况，并明确在人生第二个十年——即青春期阶段——能够有效支持青少年能力发展的有效实践；这一时期多数青少年将经历学业结业、步入职场、成婚及生育等关键人生转折。

GAGE在非洲（埃塞俄比亚、卢旺达）、亚洲（孟加拉国、尼泊尔）及中东（约旦、黎巴嫩、巴勒斯坦）共7个国家开展纵向研究。项目以10至19岁的青少年男女为抽样对象，全球范围内总计追踪18000名青少年及其照料者，通过量化调查探究项目对其生活的影响；同时通过与青少年及其同伴开展的深度质性与参与式研究，对上述发现进行佐证。此外，项目下设政策与法律分析工作模块，聚焦影响青少年相关项目投入与实施成效的政策变革进程。

《性别与青春期：全球实证研究：孟加拉国吉大港与锡尔赫特第二轮研究，2022》（Gender and Adolescence: Global Evidence: Bangladesh Chittagong and Sylhet Round 2, 2022）的抽样样本为2027名12至19岁的青少年男女。该研究样本由随机选取的青少年及其家庭组成，于2020年2月至3月从孟加拉国吉大港与锡尔赫特专区的109所公立学校及月度缴费制（Monthly-pay-order, MPO）中学的7、8年级在读学生中招募。

第二轮研究数据于2022年3月至4月收集完成，作为新冠疫情期间学校停课阶段开展的两项虚拟干预措施的随机评估的一部分，该评估由“转型中等教育成果项目”（Transforming Secondary Education for Results Operation）与世界银行合作实施：其一为不区分性别的成长型思维（Growth Mindset, GM）干预课程，围绕可塑型智力主题展开；其二为“女孩崛起”（Girl Rising, GR）干预课程，聚焦针对女性教育的性别规范议题，并叠加于成长型思维干预课程之上。

本首批发布版本仅包含核心受访者数据，未纳入居住在干预区域的青少年样本（占总样本的66%），原因在于相关研究与评估工作仍在进行中。待针对第二轮研究数据的评估类研究成果定稿后，剩余数据将在后续版本中发布。
