This report addresses the three objectives of this Work Package, namely: 1. To conduct a systematic review on social inequalities, early child development and early child health; 2. To analyse and develop methodologies for interventions regarding unequal child development and health; 3. To provide analytic evidence using data from WHO-Europe member countries that helps to explain social inequalities in early child development and early child health, and identifies factors that would reduce health inequalities across the European region. ...
