...relationships. CYPOP1: 3.2. When babies and young children feel emotionally settled and secure in the care of the people they are close to and who they share a strong, emotional bond with, then that’s when they learn and develop best. Children have a sound base, which they can explore the world, interact with others, and engage in new experiences, when loving relationships have been formed and maintained with primary carers and key workers, knowing that they can return to the safety of their relationship whenever they need care, attention, support and reassurance. If young children don’t have a secure relationship, then this will form difficulties with concentration, and engaging with others and with their general abilities to learn. CYPOP1: 3.3. There are affects short-term on the mental health of young children, have been observed by studies when babies and young children have been left in the care of another adult by their parent, where they haven’t established a relationship with the adult. This causes immediate emotional distress, which is mainly shown through crying, but following this can be a withdrawal of behaviour associated with depression. Poor attachment can lead to long-term mental health problems, by on-going distress, and it can cause effect such as self-harm, sleeping difficulties, signs of bullying behaviour and regression behaviour. If a baby or young child isn’t able to form and maintain a good-quality relationship when they’re young, then there’s evidence that...

...Economic Outlook, Prospects, and Policy Challenges 01 CHAPTER This year’s Economic Survey comes at a time of unusual volatility in the international economic environment. Markets have begun to swing on fears that the global recovery may be faltering, while risks of extreme events are rising. Amidst this gloomy landscape, India stands out as a haven of stability and an outpost of opportunity. Its macro-economy is stable, founded on the government’s commitment to fiscal consolidation and low inflation. Its economic growth is amongst the highest in the world, helped by a reorientation of government spending toward needed public infrastructure. These achievements are remarkable not least because they have been accomplished in the face of global headwinds and a second successive season of poor rainfall. The task now is to sustain them in an even more difficult global environment. This will require careful economic management. As regards monetary and liquidity policy, the benign outlook for inflation, widening output gaps, the uncertainty about the growth outlook and the over-indebtedness of the corporate sector all imply that there is room for easing. Fiscal consolidation continues to be vital, and will need to maintain credibility and reduce debt, in an uncertain global environment, while sustaining growth. On the government’s “reformto-transform” agenda, a series of measures, each incremental but collectively meaningful have been enacted. There have also...
