  • Human capital and lifetime income gains of scaling-up small-quantity lipid nutrient supplements among children under 2 years

    Open AccessNandita Perumal, Goodarz Danaei et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    Undernutrition in early childhood is associated with adverse health and developmental outcomes later in life and remains a persistent global public health problem. Providing small-quantity lipid nutrient supplements (SQ-LNS) to children aged 6-24 months improves child growth and neurodevelopmental outcomes, but the potential long-term benefits to human capital have not been previously estimated. We estimated the potential returns to schooling and…
