In this policy brief, Young Lives looks at child marriage rates in India to help inform policy and programming efforts.
Based on a sample of 1000 19-year-olds in the states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, they found that 28% of girls and just 1% of boys were married before the age of 18. By the age of 19, a majority (59%) of married young women had already given birth. The brief provides five promising areas of intervention to address child marriage and early childbearing.
