Sex ratio and fertility preferences in India
Estereotipos asociados al peso corporal
Es escasa la evidencia que documenta los estereotipos asociados con el tamaño corporal. Mediante entrevistas a profundidad, se indagó la perspectiva de 26 adolescentes de la Ciudad de México respecto a las cualidades que se atribuyen a las personas en función del peso corporal en el ambiente escolar. Se mostraron siluetas antropométricas para que compartieran su apreciación en términos de lo que ellos consideraban saludable, físicamente atractivo…

The Role of Gender Inequality in the Obesity Epidemic
Recent empirical evidence emphasizes the higher prevalence of overweight and obesity for women, especially in developing countries. However, the potential link between gender inequality and obesity has rarely been investigated. Using longitudinal data from India (IHDS 2005–11), we implement Hausman-Taylor and fixed-effect models to estimate the effect of different dimensions of gender inequalities on female overweight. This study demonstrates tha…
School starting age and nutritional outcomes
Violation des droits des femmes et malnutrition en Inde
À partir de données longitudinales sur la population indienne, nous estimons la façon dont l'accroissement des discriminations envers les femmes affecte leur santé nutritionnelle. Tandis que certaines formes de discriminations en Inde se sont détériorées sur la période étudiée, nous observons systématiquement des effets non linéaires de ces changements sur l'état nutritionnel des femmes, suggérant la concomitance de différents mécanismes ayant de…
Why do conditional cash transfer programmes fail to target the poor? The case of urban areas in Mexico
Given the limited financing capacity of developing countries, conditional cash transfer (CCT) programmes are an affordable means of providing a social safety net to vulnerable households. However, compliance with conditionalities may limit participation and increase dropouts, particularly when compliance-related constraints are high and cash incentives are relatively low. This empirical analysis determines how cash transfer amounts affect the pro…
Is overweight still a problem of rich in sub-Saharan Africa? Insights based on female-oriented demographic and health surveys
Does inequality have a silver lining? Municipal income inequality and obesity in Mexico
Is Excess Weight Penalised or Rewarded in Middle‐Income Countries’ Labour Markets? Comparative Evidence from China, India and Mexico
This comparative study examines the relationship between excess weight and hourly wages in the unprecedented context of middle‐income countries. We compare three countries that are at different stages of the nutrition transition: India (at an early stage), China (at an intermediate stage) and Mexico (at an advanced stage). To do so, we use three distinct household surveys and combine different estimation procedures. Our results emphasise a wage p…
Fat black sheep’
Objective: This article explores the relationship between childhood obesity and educational outcomes in Mexico, a country where excess weight is predominant. Design: Using complementary multivariate estimators, we empirically investigate the association between childhood excess weight, measured in 2002, and schooling attainment measured 10 years later. Non-linear specifications are tested, and heterogeneous effects according to gender, living are…
Do junk food bans in school really reduce childhood overweight? Evidence from Brazil
Comment l’obésité infantile affecte-t-elle la réussite scolaire ? Contributions d’une analyse qualitative mise en place à Mexico
Afin de mieux comprendre la relation causale qui existe entre le surpoids et l’obésité infantiles et l’échec scolaire, nous réalisons une étude qualitative à Mexico auprès de 29 élèves du primaire et du secondaire. Les conclusions issues de cette étude sont les suivantes. Tout d’abord, l’excès de poids affecte les performances scolaires à travers deux canaux interdépendants : la stigmatisation sociale et une perte de productivité. Trois principau…
