Relationship between stunting in children 6 to 36 months of age and maternal employment status in Peru: A sub-analysis of the Peruvian Demographic and Health Survey

“…A previous study carried out in a rural area of Peru found that children of non-working mothers had a higher prevalence of stunting than those of paid working mothers (p<0.001)[20]. Moreover, a Colombian study found that the prevalence of stunting in children of working mothers was lower compared with non-working mothers (p = 0.012)[19]. Furthermore, Asian and African studies have found that the prevalence of stunted children is higher in those of non-working mothers than of those of working mothers (p<0.01)[17,18,23], likely because the latter have greater access to and acquire better sources of food for their children [17–20,23].…”

“…For the secondary analysis 4637 records with complete data from the DHS-Peru were available, with a power ≥ 80.0% to detect a prevalence ratio ≥1.2, assuming a prevalence of stunted children from working women of 27.0% and an r2 of 0.2[19]. The analysis was performed using the PASS 11.0 program (NCSS, LLC.…”

“…Some studies have reported that the presence of stunting in children is higher when the mother is working[14–16]. By contrast, other studies in Asian[17–18] and Latin American countries[19–20] show that the prevalence of stunting decreases with working mothers.…”

“…Es evidente, por tanto, que una de las necesidades más apremiantes de las personas en CDFI es la alimentación y resulta ser un indicador de las condiciones de vida de estas unidades familiares. Esto pone de manifiesto la falta de cumplimiento del derecho a una alimentación equilibrada, factor que repercute en el deterioro del bienestar general y, en especial, de los infantes (Gamboa-Delgado et al, 2007;Guevara Fletcher, 2011;Hayes-Conroy & Sweet, 2014;Hérnandez Bello & Gutiérrez, 2008;Herrán & Patiño, 2015;Machado-Duque & Calderón-Flórez, 2014;Prada et al, 2010;Prada Gómez et al, 2008).…”
