“…Also, children from the poorest rural households had 1.6 to three times higher predominance of severe malnutrition as to children from better-off families (UNDP, 2004). A similar study that investigated the correlation between poverty and nutrition in Thailand and Vietnam found that malnutrition was a challenge in Vietnam with child underweight rates of 27% thus higher than headcount rates of the $1.25 poverty line (Waibel & Hohfeld, 2016). In Thailand, the study found that after the economic recession, the underweight was 19% which was above the WHO threshold (Waibel & Hohfeld, 2016).…”

This paper summarizes the arguments and counterarguments within the scientific discussion on cash transfers and child health. The main purpose of the research is to assess the effects of cash transfers on children’s health and development outcomes in sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America. Systematization of the literary sources indicates that studies have justified cash transfer as social-income support that addresses a vital social determinant of health (income) for children in low-and-middle-income countries. The methodological basis of this study is a systematic review that searched a wide range of electronic databases such as PubMed, ResearchGate and ScienceDirect. Studies included in this review included randomized controlled trials (RCTs), cluster-RCTs, quasi-experimental and mixed methods studies of cash transfer interventions in children 0-18 years. Inclusion criteria were met by eight studies, four from Africa and four from Latin America. The systematic review presents the results of data synthesis of the included studies that mainly reported the effects of cash transfer programmes on child anthropometry outcomes, cognitive development, morbidity, and healthcare utilization. The review found cash transfer programmes to improve these variables among children in households receiving cash transfers. This systematic review has added to the debate on cash transfers and children’s health outcomes. In general, the systematic review indicates that cash transfer programmes intended for children are effective at improving anthropometric, health, and cognitive outcomes, as well as access to healthcare. However, there is a need for more research to clarify the multiple pathways by which cash transfers can improve children’s health and nutritional outcomes. It is also necessary to clarify what factors explain the variety of effects of cash transfer programs on child health and nutritional status. Finally, cash transfer interventions are not permanent mechanisms for promoting access to healthcare. Policymakers in developing countries should borrow ideas on how to finance healthcare services for improving the socio-economic wellbeing of citizens.

“…Tandon and Lands (2011) examined the dependency of nutrition insecurity on the household's behaviour. Waibel and Hohfeld (2016) analysed the relationship between nutrition insecurity and poor in two Asian countries and found that poverty and income influences nutrition outcomes, but other factors such as mother's height, education, migration and sanitation too have a significant contribution.…”

This article analyses the status of nutrition in relation to the status of poverty among the socio-economic groups in both rural as well as in urban India. It also examines the role of public distribution system (PDS) along with other socio-economic factors in the reduction of nutrition insecurity of poor as well as non-poor households on the basis of National Sample Survey Office (NSSO) unit level data of Consumer Expenditure Survey of the latest rounds. It was found that the incidence of poverty as well as nutrition insecurity has declined significantly in the country during the years 2004–2005 and 2011–2012. However, as much as 24.4 per cent non-poor households in 2011–2012 remained nutritionally insecure. They were higher among the non-poor upper caste households and in the urban areas. The latter spent more on food items, evident in the growth rate of monthly per capita food consumption expenditure (MPFCE). But higher nutrition insecurity because of lower value of calorie accompanied diversification of consumption pattern among these households in favour of protein and fat items. Notwithstanding this trend, level of education, food consumption expenditure, PDS benefits and cultivable land have favourable impact on the nutritional status of non-poor households.

“…Melambatnya pertumbuhan ekonomi tersebut diyakini memperlambat segalanya, termasuk kecukupan nutrisi 2 Kemiskinan adalah momok yang sangat sulit untuk dihilangkan. Dalam studi sebelumnya, oleh Waibel 3 , ditemukan bahwa kemiskinan menurunkan kecukupan gizi. Sumatera Barat pada periode 2011-2018 mengalami penurunan persentase kemiskinan, dari 8,99 persen pada 2011 menjadi 6,65 persen pada 2018.…”

Background: Daily energy requirements must be fulfilled for a healthy and active life. Prevalence of Undernourishment (PoU) is an indicator which are developed for goal. A number of factors were expected affecting PoU were tested in this study. We also tested the possibility of these factors could have a spatial correlationObjectives: The study produced a map of the spread of PoU and the factors which were influenced them (independent variables). The study need to yield the best estimation model.Method : This study produce spread map of all variables, for visible purposes, and the classical regression were made. All OLS assumption will be test. Then, SAR and SEM models will be made. Finally, the best model for this study will be chosen. GeoDa software helps all steps.Results : This study concludes PoU has positive auto correlation and growth has a negative autocorrelation. The best model which produced is the Spatial Error Model (SEM). The slow trend of PoU in West Sumatera Barat is strongly suspected due to the habit of West Sumatera residents in consuming high-calorie foods such as rendang, curry and coconut milk.
