Measuring Human Exclusion for Structural Development

Child stunting

Indicator Child Stunting
Dimension of exclusion NUTRITION

The second dimension of exclusion is the diminished capacity of children to meet their basic nutritional needs. The life-long consequences of early child malnutrition have been widely documented, and its prevalence indicates, among others, exclusion from the adequate delivery of health services (ECA, 2013a).
Defnition: Percentage of children under fve who are stunted – i.e. whose height for age is more than two standard deviations below the median for the international reference population aged 0-59 months (WHO).
Formula $$[dEx]^{ChM}=\frac{ChM_{28d-59m}^n}{1-ChM_{28d-59m}^n}$$

$[dEx]^{ChM}$ Degree of exclusion from health/nutrition

$ChM_{28d-59m}^n$: Proportion of children between 28 days and 59 months suffering from chronic malnutrition at the national level
Computation: National/sub-national, rural/urban, women/men:
In Excel, use the following condition IF:

If:$ChM_{28d-59m}^n$, f50 give the value of 1

If NOT apply the formula: $$[dEx]^{ChM}=\frac{ChM_{28d-59m}^n}{1-ChM_{28d-59m}^n}$$
