本章旨在探讨跨代关系的性质和动机，并研究这些关系如何构建、限制和促进恩多拉（赞比亚）青少年接受教育的机会。在艾滋病毒感染率不断上升和经济机会减少的情况下，青年人在校内外的经历提供了有关宏观影响的信息，特别是全球经济趋势和艾滋病毒/艾滋病流行对这些年轻女性生活的影响。本研究采用旨在探索赞比亚青年现实生活的定性方法，探讨了人们对“糖爹”现象的看法，以及他们如何影响年轻女性的教育机会和机会。尽管研究发现，年轻女性正在寻找方法应对陷入经济严重衰退和广泛的艾滋病毒/艾滋病危机的环境，但确保“糖爹”的策略可能会导致致命的感染和社会孤立。此外，赞比亚的政策制定者可以而且应该借此机会重新考虑紧缩措施和对社会支出以及公共卫生教育内容的敌意。
This chapter seeks to explore the nature of and motivations for cross-generational relationships, and to examine how these relationships structure, limit and enable access to schooling for youth in Ndola (Zambia). Amidst increasing HIV infection rates and decreasing economic opportunity, youth experiences in and outside of school provide information about the impact of macro-level influences, particularly global economic trends and the HIV/AIDS pandemic, on the lives of these young women. Utilizing qualitative methods that seek to explore the lived realities of Zambian youth, this study examines perceptions of the phenomenon of "sugar daddies" and how they are seen to effect educational access and opportunity for young women. Although the study finds that young women are finding ways to cope with being enmeshed in a context characterized by severe economic decline and an extensive HIV/AIDS crisis, the strategy of securing a "sugar daddy" is one that may result in deadly infection and social isolation. Furthermore, policymakers in Zambia can and should take the opportunity to rethink austerity measures and hostility to social spending as well as the content of public health education.
