The panel commissioned numerous papers by panel members and other experts that provided much valuable background material that informed the panel’s deliberations. Many of these papers constitute useful contributions to the literature in their own right. Selected papers were subsequently modified to incorporate the comments of panel members and reviewers and are available in a companion volume entitled The Changing Transitions to Adulthood in Developing Countries: Selected Studies.
