Estimates of multidimensional poverty for India using NSSO-71 and -75
We measure multidimensional poverty in India using National Sample Survey Organization data from 2014–15 to 2017–18. We use income, health, education, and standard of living to measure the multidimensional poverty index (MPI). The MPI headcount declined from 26.9 to 13.75 per cent over the study period. The all-India estimates indicate that 144 million people were lifted from poverty during this period. We include different health dimensions, fac…
Improved sanitation is associated with reduced child stunting amongst Indonesian children under 3 years of age
Growing evidence suggests that household sanitation is associated with child nutritional status in low- and middle-income countries. This paper examined whether household access to improved sanitation facilities and sources of drinking water was associated with stunting and anaemia amongst children aged 6-35 months of age in Indonesia. The sample for the analysis comprised 1,450 children aged 6-35 months who participated in the end-line survey of…
Community management of acute malnutrition ( CMAM ) programme in P akistan effectively treats children with uncomplicated severe wasting
Severe wasting is the most widespread form of severe acute malnutrition, affecting an estimated 17 million children globally. This analysis assesses the effectiveness of Pakistan's community management of acute malnutrition (CMAM) programme. We conducted a retrospective case series analysis of 32,458 children aged 6-59 months who were admitted to the programme with a mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) < 115 mm (January 1-December 31, 2014). We fo…
Determinants of child wasting in Bhutan. Insights from nationally representative data
Objective To characterize the epidemiology of wasting and identify the main predictors of wasting, severe wasting and poor weight-for-height in children. Design We analysed a nationally representative sample of 2028 children (Multiple Indicator Survey, 2010). Setting Royal Kingdom of Bhutan. Subjects Children aged 0–23 months. Results Wasting prevalence was significantly higher among infants aged 0–11 months than among children aged 12–23 months …
Determinants of stunting and poor linear growth in children under 2 years of age in India
We use a representative sample of 2561 children 0-23 months old to identify the factors most significantly associated with child stunting in the state of Maharashtra, India. We find that 22.7% of children were stunted, with one-third (7.4%) of the stunted children severely stunted. Multivariate regression analyses indicate that children born with low birthweight had a 2.5-fold higher odds of being stunted [odds ratio (OR) 2.49; 95% confidence int…
India's vitamin A supplementation programme is reaching the most vulnerable districts but not all vulnerable children. New evidence from the seven states with the highest burden of mortality among und…
Objective To characterize the coverage of India's national vitamin A supplementation (VAS) programme and document its performance in reaching children in the districts with higher concentration of poor households (2006–2011). Design Analysis of VAS programme coverage data collated and collected using standardized bottom-up procedures, data from India's Office of the Registrar General and Census Commissioner, and data from India's District Level H…
Mid upper-arm circumference is an effective tool to identify infants and young children with severe acute malnutrition in India
Objective To assess the appropriateness of current mid upper-arm circumference (MUAC) cut-offs to identify children with severe acute malnutrition in India. Design The analysis concerned 6307 children admitted to nutrition rehabilitation centres (2009–2011) where they received therapeutic care as per guidelines by WHO and the Indian Academy of Pediatrics. Setting States of Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh, India. Subjects Children aged…
Response to Professor Stephen Jenkins’ comments on the World Income Inequality Database (Wiid)
conducted an extremely careful and insightful analysis of two datasets, WIID and SWIID. In this short response, we focus on his review of the WIID, maintained and published by UNU-WIDER in agreement with the World Bank. We wish to highlight at the outset that we are very grateful for Professor Jenkins' expert advice and suggestions; and note that the WIID has over the past couple of years been developed in the direction recommended in the apprais…
Determinants of child stunting in the R oyal K ingdom of B hutan
Stunting is associated with poor survival and development in children. Our analysis identifies the factors most significantly associated with child stunting in Bhutan using a nationally representative sample of 2085 children 0-23 months old. We find that 27.5% of children were stunted and almost half (42.6%) of the stunted children were severely stunted. Children's mean height-for-age z-score deteriorated significantly with age (from -0.23 in inf…
Providing care for children with severe acute malnutrition in India
Objective To assess the effectiveness of facility-based care for children with severe acute malnutrition (SAM) in malnutrition treatment centres (MTC). Design Early detection and treatment of SAM using locally adapted protocols; assessment of programme outcomes, including survival, default, discharge and recovery rates. Setting All forty-eight MTC in Jharkhand, India. Subjects Children ( n 3595) with SAM admitted to MTC (1 July 2009–30 June 2011)…
