What happens during the earliest years of a child's life, from birth to the age of three, influences how the rest of childhood and adolescence unfolds. Drawing from reports the world over, this publication details the daily lives of parents and other caregivers who are striving - in the face of war, poverty and the HIV/AIDS epidemic - to protect the rights and meet the needs of these young children. Key features include country profiles and statistical data for 193 countries and maps to illustrate child and adolescent population, life expectancy,learning and education, child and adolescents at special risk, rich world, poor world, and unstable environments.
