This report aims to contribute to reducing malnutrition in Bangladesh through a better understanding of gender-nutrition linkages. It is also part of a larger effort on multisectoral approaches to improving nutrition. The report takes as its starting point, the hypothesis that gender inequality in Bangladesh is instrumental in shaping nutrition outcomes. This study has demonstrated that gender and nutrition are intimately associated and that there are strong linkages between women's status and both their own, and their children's nutritional status.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO INFORMATIONACCESS TO MARKETSADULT EDUCATIONCHILD EDUCATIONCHILDBEARINGDEMAND FOR EDUCATIONDEMAND FOR GIRLSDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDISEASESDIVORCEDOMESTIC VIOLENCEEARLY MARRIAGEECONOMIC GROWTHEDUCATED WOMENEDUCATION FOR GIRLSEDUCATION OF GIRLSEDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENTEDUCATIONAL OUTCOMESEMPOWERMENTEQUAL EDUCATIONEQUALITY IN EDUCATIONEQUALITY IN MARRIAGEETHNIC MINORITIESEXPOSURE TO INFORMATIONFAMILIAL ROLESFAMILIESFAMILY PLANNINGFEMALEFEMALE EDUCATIONFEMALE LABORFEMALE LABOR FORCEFEMALE LABOR FORCE PARTICIPATIONFEMALESFERTILITYFERTILITY BEHAVIORFERTILITY PREFERENCESFERTILITY RATEFOCUS GROUP DISCUSSIONSGENDERGENDER & SOCIETYGENDER ASSESSMENTGENDER DIFFERENCESGENDER EQUALITYGENDER EQUALITY IN EDUCATIONGENDER GAPGENDER IDEOLOGYGENDER INEQUALITIESGENDER INEQUALITYGENDER NORMSGIRL CHILDRENGIRLSGROSS ENROLLMENTGROSS ENROLLMENT RATESHEADS OF HOUSEHOLDSHEALTH CAREHOMEHOUSEHOLD LEVELHOUSEHOLD POVERTYHUMAN CAPITALHUSBANDHUSBANDSIMPACT OF EDUCATIONIMPORTANCE OF EDUCATIONINFANTINFANT MORTALITYINVESTMENT IN EDUCATIONJOB OPPORTUNITIESJOURNAL OF MARRIAGEKINSHIPKINSHIP STRUCTURELABOR MARKETLABOR MARKETSLABOUR FORCELABOUR FORCE PARTICIPATIONLABOUR MARKETLEADERSHIPLEARNINGLEVELS OF EDUCATIONMARITAL RELATIONSHIPMARITAL RELATIONSHIPSMARRIAGESMARRIED MALEMARRIED MENMARRIED WOMENMIDDLE EASTMIGRANTSMORTALITYMORTALITY DECLINEMOTHERMUSLIM WOMENOLD AGEOLDER WOMENOPINION LEADERSPOLICY RESEARCHPOLICY RESEARCH WORKING PAPERPOPULATION AND DEVELOPMENTPOPULATION COUNCILPRIMARY SCHOOLPRIMARY SCHOOL TEACHERSPROGRESSQUALITY CAREQUALITY EDUCATIONRADIORELIGIOUS LEADERSREPRODUCTIVE DECISIONRESIDENCERESPECTRETURNS TO EDUCATIONRURAL AREASRURAL POPULATIONSSANITATIONSANITATION FACILITIESSECONDARY EDUCATIONSECONDARY SCHOOLSEXSEX PREFERENCESSEX ROLESEX ROLESSOCIAL CHANGESOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSOCIAL INEQUALITYSOCIAL NORMSSOCIAL PROBLEMSSOCIAL STATUSSOCIAL TRANSFORMATIONSOCIETAL NORMSSOCIOECONOMIC STATUSSON PREFERENCESOUTH ASIANSPOUSESPOUSESSTDSUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTTELEVISIONUPBRINGINGVIOLENCEVIOLENCE AGAINST WOMENWIFEWILLWIVESWOMANWOMEN IN EDUCATIONWOMEN'S STATUSYOUNG GIRLSYOUNG WOMENWorld Bank10.1596/12455
