Description
Nirmala Rao and co-authors trace stunting in young children in India across three national surveys from 2005 to 2021, in a study from 2023. Stunting marks poor growth from want of food and care. The data cover more than four hundred thousand children under five, and the team weighs how wealth, place, group, schooling of mothers, and sex shape the trend.
Stunting fell across all groups, but the pace slowed in the last span. Wealth and schooling of mothers drove most of the fall, and the pair helped most when joined. Children from held back groups faced higher odds in each round, and boys faced a small extra risk in later rounds. The authors call for aid aimed at the joint roots of want.
