Early childhood development: a powerful reminder

        This report gives a synthesis of knowledge on available
opportunities for improving the state of early child development globally.
In keeping with      international policy standards, it defines early
childhood as the period from prenatal development to eight years of age.
Within the work of the        Commission, early child development has
strong links to other social determinants of health, particularly urban
settings, gender, globalization,        and health systems. The report
provides a framework for understanding the environments (and their
characteristics) that play a significant role in      influencing early
development.

Towards health-equitable globalization: rights, regulation and
redistribution

        Globalization holds considerable potential for improving human
health while presenting many challenges. The key challenge for the
Commission    is to understand how globalization affects people’s access to
social determinants of health (SDH). The  Globalization Knowledge Network
(GKN)   approaches this subject by emphasizing the economic aspects of
globalization since the 1970s.

        Also on the web pages, we publish the latest draft version of the
conceptual framework proposed to the Commission. The framework was prepared
by WHO's Department of Equity, Poverty and Social Determinants of Health as
a contribution to the work of the Commission. It is not the official
framework of the Commission.
