The policy implications also mean starting with what exists in services in health and protection for vulnerable families and augmenting these with parenting support and education components so that children’s risks are reduced and more poor children will be ready to enter primary school at the appropriate age and to persist through schooling and thrive in the labor market. 2016-12-12T21:45:04Z 2016-12-12T21:45:04Z 2016-11-03 Journal Article Journal of Human Development and Capabilities 1945-2829 http://hdl.handle.net/10986/25712 en_US CC BY-NC-ND 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/igo World Bank Taylor and Francis Publications & Research :: Journal Article Publications & Research Latin America & Caribbean Jamaica Nicaragua
