Item Restricted Child outcomes and maternal education: the link between child poverty incidence and mother's educational attainment(2014-12) Masangkay, Margarita Louise D.; Zarraga, Margaret J.; Solon, Jose Orville C.This study examines the correlation of mother's educational attainment to the severity of child poverty defined as the presence of deprivations of basic human needs. By integrating Bristol's Multidimensional Approach and the Monetary Approach in measuring child's incidence of poverty, the paper used eight deprivation indicators that compose child poverty- shelter, information resource, water, sanitation, education, nutrition, health and income (as captured by per capita expenditure). The ordered logistic method of estimation was used to quantify the extent to which maternal education influences the probability of child poverty among 13-year old children sampled in the 2013 Annual Poverty Incidence Survey. Findings show that children whose mothers finished some primary level of education are likely to suffer from 6 out of 8 deprivations, compared to children who are likely to experience no more than 2 out of 8 deprivations if their mothers have finished tertiary education. Policies that directly address the deprivations such as Feeding Programs, 4Ps, Cash/Food for Work Program, and the like, should be implemented simultaneously with policies that would promote maternal education and awareness (TESDA Programs) and train mothers to become mentors and role models of their children (Nanay-Teacher Program introduced in Valenzuela City, household and family management, and Breastfeeding and Early Childhood nutrition and support). In addition, policies in education should not only ensure that children attend school but also the completion of at least tertiary education.Item Restricted Mother's education and vitamin A intake of children: the case of the Philippines(2013-10) DeIa Cruz, Christine Jane F.; Vizmanos, Jana Flor V.; Alonzo, Ruperto P.Vitamin A is one of the most essential nutrients that a child needs. This study examines the prevalence of vitamin A intake of children in relation to mothers' educational level using the data from the 2003 National Demographic and Health Survey conducted by the National Statistics Office and applying logistic regression to measure the outcome of maternal education against child nutrition. Among the findings of this paper are: I) Maternal education is statistically significant at 0.001 level with each level of education having a p-value close to 0.000; 2) Most of the mothers who haven't attended formal schooling are not informed with the essential nutrients that their child needs.Item Restricted The effects of the immediate environment on under-five mortality in the Philippines(2011-03-25) Kho, Maximilian Oh; Oliveros, Ciara Emmanuelle Clemente; Desierto, Desiree A.Although the Philippines is at progress with the current decreasing trend of under-five child mortality, achieving the Millennium Development Goal by Goal by 2015 calls for more research on immediate environmental factors that can improve the rate of child mortality This the nation. This paper studies the effects of the factors within the child's immediate environment namely, location, source of drinking water, and smoking, Philippines. The study mortality in the Philippines. The study also includes factors such as mother's education, mother's Using at first birth and wealth index. Using logistic regression, the researchers estimated the likelihood of under-five child mortality with the incidences on each determinant. The study's results presented a Findings relationship between the immediate environment and under-5 child mortality. Findings also show that the mother's age at first birth is a strong determinant of under-five child mortality.
