File name | The Role Of Maternal Literacy In Reducing The Risk of Child Nutrition |
File Description | A recurring theme in the literature on the welfare of children in developing countries is the importance of having literate parents and, in particular, of having a literate mother. There is a body of evidence to suggest that the number of children born to a woman is inversely related to her level of education. Overlaying this theme is another, more recent, theme relating to the nature of literacy. This argues that some of the disadvantages to a person of being illiterate may be mitigated if he/she lives in a household in which other members are literate since, for many activities, having access to the ability of the literate members to read and write may serve as a form of 'surrogate' or 'proximate' literacy |
