Author/s: Sri Sumarmi, Soenarnatalina Melaniani, Takashi Yamano
The prevalence of child stunting has declined from 40% to under 30% in Indonesia over the past two decades. This study decomposes the changes in stunting between 2013-2018 and 2018-2019 using Indonesia Basic Health Survey data (2007, 2013, and 2018) using mixed methods, including path analysis and multivariate linear regression.
