| In this paper, we provide a brief overview of the current understanding of the extent, drivers and consequences of the problem of child marriage broadly and particularly in the Arab region. We also outline the international and national frameworks prohibiting, and efforts to eradicate, this practice. Next, we discuss the importance of costing child marriage and the economic costing model devised by the World Bank and the International Center for Research on Women (ICRW) (Wodon and others, 2017). Drawing on this understanding, we examine the feasibility of undertaking cost estimates of child marriage in the region. This is followed by an exploration of the drivers of and barriers to its decline. Next, we examine the data gaps in the region and detail different costing approaches. The paper concludes with a recommendation to choose two Arab States not impacted by conflict and two States impacted by conflict in which to undertake costing of child marriage studies and a brief overview of the steps that would be involved. This choice is dependent on the costing option/approach chosen and a further exploration of available data. | |
