Studies in the past have found a strong positive association between maternal education and child health. What remains contentious is the nature of this relationship. Firstly, how much of the association is due to maternal education serving as a proxy for socioeconomic status and regional factors? Secondly, how does a higher level of maternal education translate into improved child health outcomes? This paper aims to examine these questions by analysing the relationship between mother's level of education and child height-for-age, or stunting in India. Using a nationwide family and household survey (NFHS-3, 2005-06), I estimate multivariate regressions to examine how the impact of education varies across model specifications. In particular, I examine the role of three pathways in serving as potential mechanisms through which maternal education has a positive impact on child outcomes. These are (1) Information Processing Effects (2) Maternal Autonomy (3) Use of Community Services. I also use fixed effects estimations to account for village level heterogeneity. The results show that a significant portion of the effect of maternal education can in fact be attributed to socioeconomic variables and community level factors. The analysis gives us insightful findings regarding the differential impacts on child health across various categories of maternal education, the role of the pathways, and how these effects change across specifications. The results have relevant policy implications in the context of improving child health status in India.

Women's education lowers child mortality rate in developing countries. My research question is "What are the intervening variables involved in the process that lead to a relationship between maternal education and infant/under five child mortality in India?" The dependent variable is infant/under five child mortality and the independent variables are maternal education, women's empowerment indicators, women's autonomy indicators, knowledge acquisition measure and decision-making regarding reproductive behavior and child care measure. I argue that the causal link between maternal education to child survival is due to impact of education on women's empowerment and autonomy (both in absolute and relative terms). Women's social status (empowerment and autonomy) improves with education, which has an impact on their ability to acquire knowledge and make decisions regarding their reproductive behavior and child care.

Fetal health is an important determinant of subsequent health or later life outcomes. In this paper, we examine whether parental human capital can substitute for low provision of quality health infrastructure in the areas of India, suffering from adverse disease environment. We use the second and third waves of the National Family Health Survey and restrict sample to first birth and born within last five year from the survey to minimize recall bias. Along with the common measures of fetal health such as birth weight and neonatal mortality, we examine two less frequent measures - likelihood of a male birth as a measure of fetal survival to term, based on the medical evidence of male fragility in utero and birth size which reflects fetal health and nutrition. For the rural areas in high infant mortality states which have low provision of quality health infrastructure and are suffering from adverse disease environment, a 10 centimeter increase in mother height is associated with more than 2% increase in likelihood of having a male child at first birth. Maternal education and stature are positively associated with other fetal health outcomes as well in this area. These associations are weaker in the areas of India where either low provision of health quality or adverse disease environment are less of a concern. Our results suggest gender specific selection in live birth can also occur purely due to biological reasons and gender of the first child may not be random in India. Moreover, intergenerational persistence in poor health status of women can arise due to biological reasons, along with son preference, given the cultural and economic context of the country. Income, access to information and other community characteristics are also associated with various dimensions of fetal health, although the relationships are not always strong or consistent.

This book examines in detail the problems of mother and child health everywhere, with particular emphasis on tropical and under-developed countries. This edition has been thoroughly revised throughout, and enlarged by the addition of new chapters, information, and a large number of new illustrations. It is not intended to be a comprehensive text, but rather to present a public health philosophy which is relevant in today's world and probably always will be. As long as the inequality of resources between 'north' and 'south' persists, efforts to change health and nutrition status will not be dramatic or long-lasting, and malnutrition and high mortality will go unhalted. Prevention of infection, improved child care, and maternal education may be the most helpful interventions. The key to health rests within the community, which should harness local resources rather than depend on expensive imports or commercial alternatives (e.g. human milk substitutes). The mother is the key to the success of maternal and child health services, and unless her health and status are given major importance, the benefits of services on family health will not be long-term. There is a new chapter in this edition on mothers' health problems. Health programmes cannot be mass produced: each has to be tailor-made to the local setting. Services have to be not only extensive and intensive but also comprehensive, continuous, spiced with enthusiasm, and laced with common sense.
