“…Future investigations of the determinants of infant health status aiming to provide a more complete picture of the total benefits of increased education must pay closer attention to these interactions. 1 A partial list includes Alderman and Garcia (1994) for Pakistan; Barrera (1990) for the Philippines; Strauss (1990) for Côte d'Ivoire; Thomas, Strauss and Henriques (1992) for Brazil; Thomas (1994) for the US; and Wolfe and Behrman (1987) for Nicaragua. Survey articles with more exhaustive lists of references include Cochrane, Leslie and O'Hara (1982); Behrman and Deolalikar (1988);McMurray (1996); and Strauss and Thomas (1995).…”

This study uses 1989 Susenas household data to examine the impact of parental education on pre-school children's nutritional status, as measured by weight-for-age Z-scores. Reduced form regressions are estimated separately for boys and girls in rural and urban areas; explanatory variables include mother's and household head's education; per capita household expenditure; and aspects of the household sanitary environment. The analysis controls for influence of unobserved heterogeneity at village level, e.g. differences in prices and medical service provision. The estimates show a significant effect of parental schooling on child health status, varying between urban and rural areas, and by child gender and age. Mothers with secondary education typically have healthier boys than those with less schooling, while this effect is seen for girls only if the mother has more than secondary education. Maternal schooling significantly affects 2-5 year olds' health, but has little direct effect on that of younger children.

“…The measurement model uncovers complex and diverse relationships that exist between observable health indicators but unobservable health states. Other studies that estimate child health for example, Thomas et al (1991), Barrera (1990), Alderman and Garcia (1994) use a single health indicator as height or weight for age as the dependent variable. However, as Behrman and Deolalkar (1988, p. 650) observe, ''the measures differ significantly in regard to their costs and measurement errors and may represent different dimensions of health status''.…”

“…In places such as Sri Lanka or the Indian state of Kerala where higher levels of health status have been achieved than might have been expected given their aggregate level of income or rates of poverty, this has often happened as a result of the provision of public services (Anand and Ravallion, 1993). Similarly, but less optimistically, in countries where the data show that nutritional status has not improved as rapidly as might have been expected given their income growth, this may indicate that there is a need to make specific investments in human resources (Alderman and Garcia, 1994).…”
