Variations in adult BMI among Indian men
India has not only maintained its top position among countries with the largest number of underweight adults but has also jumped to a higher position among countries with largest increase in the proportion of overweight people in the last three decades. More studies focus on double burden of malnutrition among women than on men. This study uses the quantile regression model to analyse the covariates associated with low and high body mass index (B…
Role of social and institutional factors in Indian women’s labour force participation and hours worked
This article analyses the determinants of hours worked by Indian women, by means of a sample-selection model, with a special emphasis on the role played by social and institutional factors. We empirically confirm that social and institutional factors considerably affect women’s labour supply. A woman, who is empowered within the household, has trust in government institutions and is socially connected, is more likely to participate and given part…
Predictors of age-specific child mortality for India
India’s progress in reducing under-five mortality rates is impressive in the past decade but not as much for neonatal or infant mortality. Very few studies have attempted to examine the role of differential impact of predictors like intergenerational transmission, gender, birth order, social, economic and religious characteristics, on the odds of each age-specific mortality (viz., preterm deaths, neonatal, infant and under-five mortality) vis-à-v…
Revisiting the Determinants of Child Anthropometric Indicators in India Using Seemingly Unrelated Regressions Model
This study uses the National Family Health Survey (NFHS-3) data to estimate Seemingly Unrelated Regression (SUR) model for height-for-age (HAZ), weight-for-age (WAZ) and weight-for-height (WHZ) to understand how the determinants of intergenerational transmission, feeding and care practices, and the Integrated Child Development Scheme (ICDS) vary in their impact when these commonly used measures of child nutritional status are considered together …
Variations in Women’s Heights across Social and Religious Groups Among Indian States
Socio-economic Differences in Heights of Adult Indian Women
This study provides additional insights into the nature of variations in heights of adult Indian women based on the demographic and health survey data for the year 2005–06. Though contiguous regions show similar mean heights, the gap between geographic regions reduce once socio-economic differences are accounted for. While teenage child birth, wealth differences and caste affiliations are some of the key variables that explain the gaps in mean he…
