This paper examines age patterns of first marriage and motherhood and covariates of early marriage, delayed consummation of marriage and early motherhood in Nepal using data from the 2000 Nepal Adolescent and Young Adult Survey (NAYA). Both unmarried and married male and female youths (age 14–22) were included in the survey. The analysis is based on 2800 urban youths and 5075 rural youths with complete information on the variables examined. Proportional hazard models are used to estimate covariates of early marriage and early motherhood, and logistic regression models are used to estimate covariates of delayed consummation of marriage. The results show that early marriage and early motherhood are quite common among Nepalese women, especially in rural areas. Early marriage is much less common among men. Delayed consummation of marriage is common among very young brides, especially in rural areas. The main covariates associated with early marriage and early motherhood are respondent's education, region of residence and ethnicity. The main covariates of delayed consummation of marriage are age at first marriage, region of residence and ethnicity. The study highlights the need to focus on less educated female youths in the Terai region in order to reduce the reproductive and child health risks associated with early marriage and early childbearing.

Theory and earlier research indicates that the content of the earliest memory recalled is related to the 'life-style' of the individual. Cultural and sex differences have been found to be involved at a significant level The major study reported here confirms earlier reports
and finds, furthermore, that personality as measured by the E. P. Q., in complex interaction with age and sex, may have a significant effect on both the type of earliest important experience and earliest memory reported. 'Neuroticism' responses for early memories are found to be
significantly related to E. P. Q. 'N' scores, but interestingly 'Tenderness' related memories are also similarly related. A group of memories categorized as 'Elation' responses are also found to be significantly related to E. P. Q. 'Extraversion'
scores. Results for important early experiences in general give parallel findings, but with lower significance, except in the case of 'Elation' where there is higher significance, explained possibly by the fact that both conscious and unconscious factors are combining here.

Council early help services are changing. With budgets falling and demand for intensive services rising, early help is evolving into a more multi-agency intervention targeted at the most disadvantaged families

Amid rising knife crime, youth homelessness and care referrals, the case for spending on early help has never been so important, yet investment in prevention services has been falling, fuelling late interventions
