“…According to Table 3, several control variables seemingly interplay with children's nutritional patterns in rural contexts. Echoing findings from prior research (24), elevated educational attainment was inversely correlated with carbohydrate consumption, while positively influencing fat and protein intakes. Offspring and guardians with extended educational tenures tend to exhibit healthier dietary habits, thereby enhancing children's nutritional uptake (31,32).…”

“…Building on insights from the extant literature ( 20 , 24 , 25 , 28 ), this research incorporates control variables spanning three domains: characteristics of the child, parental attributes, and household features. Prevailing evidence indicates that these domains hold significant sway over children’s nutritional intake.…”

This study explores the influence of household technological advancements on children’s nutritional intake, specifically within the context of the Chinese government’s “Home Appliances Going to the Countryside” (HAGC) initiative. Utilizing data from the China Health and Nutrition Surveys of 2006, 2009, and 2011, we employed a Propensity Score Matching Difference-in-Differences (PSM-DID) framework to ascertain the repercussions of enhanced household technology on the dynamics of children’s nutritional consumption patterns. Our analysis reveals that the HAGC-inspired integration of household appliances, including color televisions, washing machines, and refrigerators, has beneficially reshaped the nutritional consumption patterns of children, with a pronounced effect among female children. This finding remains consistent even when employing alternate methodological robustness tests. A deeper examination of the HAGC policy’s mechanisms underscores the pivotal roles of parental time allocation, improved food storage capabilities, and augmented information accessibility as significant drivers bolstering children’s nutritional intake. These insights bear considerable significance for strategizing interventions aimed at elevating the nutritional wellbeing of children in rural settings, offering valuable input for shaping public health policies tailored for such demographies.

“…However, this narrow focus may not fully explain the varied dynamics observed over time and across geographic regions. More studies have examined the factors influencing the nutritional intake of rural residents, such as income [ 15 ], production [ 16 ], household dynamics [ 17 ], geographic differences [ 18 ], and environmental influences [ 19 ]; yet, these factors have not been sufficiently linked to migrant labor. Based on the existing literature, we hypothesize that migrants influence protein intake in three key ways: firstly, by increasing disposable income through remittances and agricultural income [ 20 ]; secondly, by consuming home-grown agricultural products [ 21 ]; and thirdly, by altering household composition [ 22 ].…”

Malnutrition remains a critical global health challenge, especially in rural areas, where it significantly impacts the health and economic stability of households. This study explores (1) the relationship between labor migration and dietary protein intake in households remaining in economically disadvantaged rural regions and (2) the influence of remittance income, farm earnings, self-produced food, and changes in family size due to migration on their dietary protein. Panel data were collected through a three-wave household survey of 1368 rural households across six counties in the provinces of Guizhou, Yunnan, and Shaanxi during 2012, 2015, and 2018. Employing a two-way fixed effects model, we found that labor migration positively affects the protein consumption of families left behind. The mediated effects model indicated that decreases in family size had the most significant impact on protein intake, with a value of 8.714, accounting for 0.729 of the total effect; followed by the mediating effect through crop income, at 2.579, representing 0.216 of the total effect; and livestock income, at 0.772, contributing 0.073 of the total effect. However, the mediating effects of remittance income and self-production were found to be insignificant. In conclusion, our study found that migration improves protein intake primarily through increased crop and livestock production and decreased family size. These results highlight the critical role of family structure and farm productivity in enhancing the nutrition of families affected by labor migration, offering valuable insights for policymakers.
