Nutrition for Pre-school Children in Africa and Asia: A Review Analysis on the Economic Impact of Children’s Malnutrition

Abstract

Nutrition is known to be the key driver in well-being and fitness generally, and as a driving force behind the growth of capital and child food, it is a source and a product of greater health problems, family income and living conditions. The first 1,000 days of maternal and child care concentrate on healthy physical exercise and cognitive improvement, with long-term health and economic consequences for people and economies. The research reviewed Nutrition for Preschool Children in Africa and Asia and illustrated the economic effect of malnutrition in infants. The review indicated that nutrition for pre-school children in Africa and Asia remains insufficient to ensure enhanced economic and human growth and that each nation needs to consider how money is to be invested through the assistance resources that help the least per cent of the population to fix this gap for children and make it the most efficient investment in society. Citizenship and collective efforts, particularly the voice of youth, are important forces of transformation, which must be encouraged to meet SDGs. Democracy campaigns can play a crucial role in the struggle for justice for children and the family.

Economics of natural disasters and technological innovations in Africa: an empirical evidence

“…While natural disasters can influence one’s human capital all over their life, it is during the early phases that such consequences are most significant if they are not appropriately and quickly addressed. Temporary illness and hunger, for example, may have long-term implications because they tend to reverberate through later human capital accumulation activities, such as school performance, cognitive development, earnings, and productivity (Okolo et al 2021 ). Natural disasters have the greatest effect on human lives, physical disabilities, and the loss or destruction of public infrastructure and private, physical, and productive capital.…”

Perceptions of Caregivers about Preschool Children’s Nutritional Care and Physical Activity through Tai Lue Traditions: A Qualitative Descriptive Study

“…1 Changes in diet and behavior created early by children and caregivers will influence those children in the future. 2 Currently, there is a global problem of malnutrition, both undernutrition and overweight, especially in low-and middle-income countries. 3 In 2020, 149.2 million children under the age of five years old around the world were stunted in their growth, while 45.4 million children were wasting, and 38.9 million were overweight.…”
