Book Description
This paper evaluates the impact of a reproductive health program on the nutritional status of children under the age of ten in rural Bangladesh. The program was administered in a treatment area while retaining an equally impoverished area as control through a doorstep delivery, allowing us to estimate treatment effects without problems of endogenous program placement and self-selected participation. A reduced form demand approach has been applied using Matlab Health and Socio-economic Survey of 1996 to estimate program effects, returns to mother's education, the joint effect of the program and household characteristics as well as gender differences in nutritional outcomes. Results indicate that the program significantly improves the health of boys and girls in the treatment area. Mother's education has a positive impact on child health, more so for girls than boys. The program is a substitute for maternal education in improving boys' health while a complement to household wealth in improving girls' nutritional status.

The Role of Family Planning and Targeted Credit Programs in Demographic Change in Bangladesh

Publisher: World Bank Publications
ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 50
Book Description
World Bank Discussion Paper No. 337. Draws on household survey data from 87 rural villages in Bangladesh to examine the contribution that government family planning programs, as well as other health care interventions, have made toward the recent reduction in fertility by increasing contraceptive use and reducing infant mortality. The paper suggests that the programs have been effective and finds that targeted credit program placement, such as the Grameen Bank and the Bangladesh Rural Advancement Committee (BRAC), contributed to the effort as well.
