In Ethiopia, improvements in child survival and education have been the main drivers of progress, but reductions in malnutrition and child marriage have also been important. Child mortality, children out of school and child marriage have all been cut by about half or more. The adolescent birth rate is down 41 per cent, stunting is down 33 per cent, and child homicide is down 30 per cent.
