Pakistan 人力资本评估政策要点2 - 促进早期儿童发展

Jul 19, 2026

From birth to age 8, brain development accelerates and remains highly sensitive to nurturing care and stimulation inputs. Young children’s health and learning have remained persistently low, especially for children in poor households and rural areas, with provincial services uneven across health and nutrition, water and sanitation, education, and social protection.
