The aim of this study was to evaluate the perception of nurses regarding their practice in child care after training in child development surveillance, in the context of the Integrated Care for Childhood Prevalent Diseases. An exploratory study, using a qualitative approach, was developed between June and August 2009, by means of interviews with 11 nurses who participated in training workshops developed in João Pessoa, Paraíba, Brazil. The thematic analysis helped identify three categories: weaknesses in child development surveillance before training; post-training qualified perspective: professional motivation and empowerment; and a new behavior in child development surveillance. The training was considered to be a powerful strategy for professional qualification and for changing the attitude of primary care nurses, motivating nurses to adopt a new behavior in child development surveillance.Estudio que objetivó evaluar la percepción de enfermeras en relación a su práctica en la atención de salud del niño luego de capacitación en vigilancia del desarrollo infantil, en el contexto de la Atención Integrada a las Enfermedades Prevalentes en la Infancia. Investigación exploratoria, de abordaje cualitativo, realizada entre junio y agosto de 2009 mediante entrevistas con once enfermeras que participaron de talleres de capacitación, realizados en João Pessoa, Paraíba, Brasil. Se identificaron, a partir del análisis temático, tres categorías: fragilidades en la vigilancia del desarrollo infantil antes de la capacitación; visión calificada post capacitación: empoderamiento y motivación profesional; y nueva actuación en la vigilancia del desarrollo infantil. La capacitación se mostró como estrategia poderosa para la calificación profesional y cambio de actitudes de las enfermeras en la atención primaria, motivándolas a tomar nuevas acciones para la vigilancia del desarrollo infantil.

Early Child Education : Making Programs Work for Brazil’s Most Important GenerationKosec, Katrina; Evans, David K. (Washington, DC: World Bank, 2013-04-11)This report draws deeply on the extraordinary efforts and innovations demonstrated by early child development policy makers around Brazil. This report draws on background papers about innovations in early child education in Rio de Janeiro and in caregiver training and supervision in two municipalities within Sao Paulo state. The year 2011 marked the beginning of a new administration in Brazil. The Ministry of education clearly identified early child education (ECE) as one of the top priorities of the new administration, along with secondary school and improving the reputation of the teaching profession. Early child development interventions are essential to both increasing the productivity of Brazil as a whole and to providing equitable opportunities for the disadvantaged. These programs benefit the poor more than other populations, and the poor are most in need of these benefits. Education interventions are crucial. Creches and preschools provide opportunities for stimulation and development that can wire children for future success. Therefore, early child education can particularly benefit the poor, helping to close the gap in cognitive development across income groups. A World Bank study compares adults from two regions of Brazil (the Northeast and the Southeast) who attended preschool to those who did not and found that pre-school attendance is associated with additional total years of education.

Child Labor in Africa : Issues and ChallengesKielland, Anne; Canagarajah, Sudharshan; Andvig, Jens (World Bank, Washington, DC, 2001-11)How serious is the issue of child labor in Sub-Saharan Africa? Many African experts consider it to be no problem, while others believe it to be more serious than anywhere else in the world. A cursory glance at the statistics supports either view. ILO data indicate that more than 40 percent of African children work--almost twice as many as in Asia. On the other hand, household surveys suggest that over 95 percent of child labor takes place in and around private households. African society places a high value on children working at home or the family farm. This is not seen as "harmful" or as a welfare issue--a view opposed by many Western countries. This article explores the normative and factual basis for the different perceptions of child labor in Africa, and provides grounds effective social protection policies. Both welfare economic research and findings of sociological and anthropological studies have been reviewed.

A Closer Look at Child Mortality among Adivasis in IndiaKapoor, Soumya; Nikitin, Denis; Das, Maitreyi Bordia (2012-03-19)The authors use data from the National Family Health Survey 2005 to present age-specific patterns of child mortality among India's tribal (Adivasi) population. The analysis shows three clear findings. First, a disproportionately high number of child deaths are concentrated among Adivasis, especially in the 1-5 age group and in those states and districts where there is a high concentration of Adivasis. Any effort to reduce child morality in the aggregate will have to focus more squarely on lowering mortality among the Adivasis. Second, the gap in mortality between Adivasi children and the rest really appears after the age of one. In fact, before the age of one, tribal children face more or less similar odds of dying as other children. However, these odds significantly reverse later. This calls for a shift in attention from infant mortality or in general under-five mortality to factors that cause a wedge between tribal children and the rest between the ages of one and five. Third, the analysis goes contrary to the conventional narrative of poverty being the primary factor driving differences between mortality outcomes. Instead, the authors find that breaking down child mortality by age leads to a much more refined picture. Tribal status is significant even after controlling for wealth.
