Child marriage declines (The Daily Star)

IFPRI’s Bangladesh Integrated Household Survey (BIHS) was the main source in a front page article as well as an opinion piece in Bangladesh’s highest circulation English-language daily, The Daily Star. The articles used the survey data to highlight the stubbornly high rate of childhood marriage in Bangladesh while the government is in the midst of drafting a new law to prohibit the practice. The data was also the focus of an article in The Financial Express, Bangladesh’s main English-language financial paper, and other news sources.
