Remittances, sanitation and child malnutrition in middle-income countries: A case study from rural Northeast Thailand and Central Vietnam
研究了汇款对农村家庭卫生设施的影响,以及卫生设施改善如何降低儿童营养不良,发现女童和贫困家庭儿童受益更多,但母亲教育水平低的儿童受益较少。
• Remittances increase the propensity of owning a flush toilet. • Owning a flush toilet reduces children’s underweight, wasting, and stunting. • Female children and children from poor households benefit more. • Children from lower educated mothers benefit less. • Improving rural education and public water systems reduces child undernutrition.
