ISBN:
Category : Breast feeding
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
This paper uses data from the Malaysian Family Life Survey to study trends and determinants of infant feeding choices in Peninsular Malaysia, 1950-1977. Such factors as ethnic group, level of education, and family income are studied as they affect choice between breastfeeding and artificial feeding (or a combination of the two), duration of breastfeeding, and choice and timing of supplementation. The author discusses implications of the findings for public health policy, and reviews literature on health consequences of infant feeding and child nutrition. An appendix studies correlates of re-test reliability in the infant feeding recall data.

Human Capital Formation as an Engine of Growth

ISBN: 9789812300188
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
The East Asian countries have been relatively more advanced than other developing countries in the field of human capital development. Even in the 1960s they managed to attain higher levels of human capital compared with other low- and middle-level economies in the developing world. This volume examines the role of human capital formation in the rapid growth of the East Asian economies. Apart from the formal education variable, other factors such as better health care of the labour force, nutritional status of the population, and on-the-job training are important concerns that were not given sufficient attention in the 1993 World Bank study The East Asian Miracle. This present volume offers many insights of interest to policy-makers and specialists with regard to developing (and transitional) economies.
