“…Mothers who became anemic during their last pregnancy and those who didn't have any ANC followup had a 15% and 41% added risk of having small size babies (AoR = 1.15, 95% CI (1.02, 1.64) and 1.41(1.06, 1.88). This is consistent with several other findings ( 2 , 4 , 12 , 13 , 27 , 28 ) in that maternal nutritional condition in general and anemia during pregnancy as well as antenatal care followup during pregnancy are conclusively identified as being among the most important factors determining fetal size at birth or birth weight.…”

BACKGROUND: Low Birth Weight (LBW) babies account for nearly 80% of neonatal deaths globally. In Ethiopia, only 5% of them are weighed at birth. This study analyzes the prevalence and key proximate determinants of reported infant size, and its validity to use as a proxy indicator for low birth weight inthe Ethiopian context. METHODS: In-depth analysis of the Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey dataset was conducted using representative data collected from all regions in the country. Considering reported fetal size at birth as an outcome variable, key predicting variables from socio-demographic, household, child and obstetric characteristics were employed for analyses. Chi-square test and multivariate logistic regression model were used to determine predictors at p value < 0.05. RESULTS: An average of 29.1% of Ethiopian babies were reported ''small'' at birth in 2011. various variables from socio-demographic, household, child and maternal reproductive characteristics were identified as key predictors. Women who develop anemia and not attending antenatal care during pregnancy had 15% and 41% more risk of giving birth to the reported ''small size'' babies than their counterparts (AoR = 1.15, and 1.41, 95% CI (1.02, 1.64 and 1.06, 1.88) respectively. Maternal age at delivery, maternal literacy level, paternal educational status and presence of radio or television in the household and other factors were also other key predictors identified. CONCLUSION: The prevalence of small size babies in Ethiopia is high but comparable to regional estimates of LBW. It is recommend that improving maternal nutritional and socio-economic status is a timely intervention to tackle the problem.

“…Adapun dari sisi penawaran, kemiskinan merupakan salah satu faktor yang melatarbelakangi masyarakat untuk menyediakan penawaran tenaga kerja anak (Priyambada dkk., 2005;Basu, 1999;Sasmal & Guillen, 2015).

Child labor is a form of violence and exploitation of children with economic motives. During the COVID-19 pandemic, there was an increasing percentage of child labor from 2.35 percent in 2019 to 3.25 percent in 2020. This is a consequence of the supply side of child labor, the economic factor behind the availability of child labor. This study aims to analyze the effect of poverty on child labor in Indonesia using data from the March 2020 National Socio-Economic Survey (Susenas) and binary logistic regression analysis. The results showed that the highest percentage of child labor was found in poor households, the lowest 25 percent of per capita expenditure. By conducting a robustness check, the resulting poverty status has a positive and significant impact on the opportunities for child labor in Indonesia. The influence of poverty on child labor opportunities is largely due to household economic factors.

This last year, the extent of poverty and socio-economic crises in some African countries, particularly in Côte d’Ivoire have favoured child labour. Thus, despite the political fight against this phenomenon, it’s remains a concern. This research therefore aims to identify the determinants of child labour in Côte d’Ivoire, using 2005 data from the national survey on child labour with 5,571 children. The descriptive statistic showed that 1,509 (27.09%) were in child labour category: 743 boys (27.04%) and 766 girls (27.14%). The estimated multinomial logit presented that household poverty and low level of parent’s education remains a determinant of child labour. In addition, the permanent employment of the household in agriculture reduces child labour. Thus, policy makers can modernize agriculture. This strategy will allow the use of modern technology inaccessible to children and improve agricultural productivity. With a guaranteed minimum price for agricultural production poor households will earn higher incomes. In addition, targeted free schooling is required.
