متن کاملDrivers of Growth Faltering in Children
— Growth faltering describes a widespread phenomenon that height and weight-for-age of children in developing countries collapse rapidly in the first two years of life. We study the demographic and socio-economic drivers behind growth faltering using Demographic and Health Surveys from 56 developing countries. Applying non-parametric techniques and exploiting within mother variation, we find th...
