Resumen
Descripción
Stunting is a widespread and persistent
condition in Indonesia with more than one-third of young
children being stunted. The national stunting rate for under
five-year-olds increased slightly from 3.8 percent in 2007
to 37.2 percent in 2013, based on official stunting rates
reported by the Ministry of Health of the Government of
Indonesia. During the same time period, the percentage of
population in poverty reduced from 16. Percent to 11.4
percent (World Bank), suggesting that the increased
purchasing power did not translate to better nutritional
outcomes for children.
