NOTE: This study aims to discover
whether improvvement in women's intra-household status relative to
men, raises children's food security in Pakistan. The Conclusion of
the research paper states: "It is found that the more educated a
child's mother relative to her father, the better her long-term
nutritional status as measured by the height-for-age standard.
Further, the earning of cash income by mothers, improves children's
shorter-term nutritional status as measured by the weight-for-height
standard....................................The paper's findings of
a positive relation between measures of women's intra-household
status and children's food security may be taken to imply that
households are not monolithic units but that bargaining is the
mechanism of intra-household allocation."
