Assessing children's food and nutrition security in Indonesia, especially among children from parents who experienced child marriage, is crucial for policymakers. This study investigates the role of parental child marriage in children's food security and nutritional status.
We analyze data from Indonesia Family Life Survey (IFLS) wave 4 (2007) and 5 (2014), involving 1,612 households. We employ OLS and binary logit regression analysis.
Our analysis reveals that parental child marriage is associated with higher probability of children being stunted and experiencing food insecurity. Additionally, parental child marriage correlates with higher BMI-for-age -scores, which increase the risk of obesity, and lower Food Consumption Scores (FCS).
Implementing community initiatives, economic empowerment, healthcare access, and gender-sensitive and integrated policies is crucial for enhancing food security and improving nutritional status among childen in families affected by child marriage.
评估印度尼西亚儿童的粮食和营养安全状况,尤其是来自经历过童婚的父母家庭的儿童,这对政策制定者至关重要。本研究调查了父母童婚在儿童粮食安全和营养状况方面的作用。
我们分析了印度尼西亚家庭生活调查(IFLS)第4轮(2007年)和第5轮(2014年)的数据,涉及1612户家庭。我们采用普通最小二乘法(OLS)和二元逻辑回归分析。
我们的分析表明,父母童婚与儿童发育迟缓以及粮食不安全的较高概率相关。此外,父母童婚与较高的年龄别体重指数(BMI)得分相关,这增加了肥胖风险,同时与较低的食物消费得分(FCS)相关。
实施社区倡议、经济赋权、医疗保健服务以及性别敏感和综合政策对于提高受童婚影响家庭中儿童的粮食安全和改善营养状况至关重要。
