Description: "Presents diagnosis of children under 14 years of age in the northern region (Region Grau) of Peru motivated by a debate regarding a proposed education program. The diagnosis involves not only preschool and elementary education, but also children's nutritional status and health. Focuses on children living in marginal urban areas and working children. Using census and survey data, the author confirms that children from poor families who work are more likely to abandon school, eat poorly, and become ill. This publication, together with many other studies undertaken in the last decade, demonstrate the dire effects of the economic crisis and structural adjustment on families and especially on children"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
