Favara, Marta2014-09-022014-09-022012-11https://hdl.handle.net/10986/19933In previous literature, social capital has been hypothesized as a substitute for other forms of capital, such as physical and human capital. This paper contributes to this literature, studying the association between mothers' access to social capital via participation in community organizations and their children's nutritional status at 1 and 5 years. Using the Peruvian sample of the Young Lives project, this study suggests that, where human capital is scarce, social capital might have important implications for child development. Maternal social capital is positively associated with height at 1 year old for those children whose mothers have no formal education. No significant association is found at 5 years of age.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO HEALTH CAREACCESS TO HEALTH SERVICESACCESS TO SOCIAL CAPITALACTIVE PARTICIPATIONADOLESCENTSADULT HEALTHAGEDANXIETYBREASTFEEDINGCHILD BIRTHCHILD CARECHILD DEVELOPMENTCHILD HEALTHCHILD MORTALITYCHILD NUTRITIONCHILD REARINGCHILD SURVIVALCHRONIC POVERTYCITIZENSCITIZENSHIPCIVIC PARTICIPATIONCLUBSCOMMUNITIESCOMMUNITY ACTIVITIESCOMMUNITY ASSOCIATIONSCOMMUNITY GROUPSCOMMUNITY HEALTHCOMMUNITY LIFECOMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONSCOMMUNITY PARTICIPATIONCULTURAL CHANGEDEMOCRACYDEPRESSIONDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDEVELOPMENT OBJECTIVESDEVELOPMENT POLICYDIETDISABILITYDISASTERSDRINKING WATEREARLY CHILDHOODECONOMIC CHANGEECONOMIC PRODUCTIVITYECONOMIC RESOURCESECONOMIC STATUSEMOTIONAL SUPPORTEPIDEMIOLOGYETHNIC GROUPETHNICITYFAMILIESFAMILY BACKGROUNDFAMILY MEMBERSFATHERSFORMAL EDUCATIONFRIENDSGRASS-ROOTSHEALTH CAREHEALTH CENTERSHEALTH COMMITTEESHEALTH EDUCATIONHEALTH EFFECTSHEALTH FACILITIESHEALTH OUTCOMESHEALTH POLICYHEALTH PROMOTIONHEALTH SERVICESHEALTH STATISTICSHEALTH-CARE SYSTEMHEALTHY MOTHERHOUSEHOLD INCOMEHOUSEHOLD SIZEHOUSEHOLD SOCIAL CAPITALHUMAN CAPITALHUMAN CAPITAL INVESTMENTHUMAN GROWTHHYGIENEILLNESSESINCLUSIONINCOME INEQUALITYINDIVIDUAL FREEDOMSINFANTINTERVENTIONIRONJOURNAL OF EPIDEMIOLOGYLABOR MARKETLEVEL OF EDUCATIONLEVELS OF EDUCATIONLIFE CHANCESLIFE CYCLELIMITED RESOURCESLOCAL POPULATIONLOW BIRTH WEIGHTLOW-INCOME COUNTRIESMATERNAL HEALTHMEASURING SOCIAL CAPITALMEDICAL BULLETINMENTALMENTAL HEALTHMIGRATIONMORBIDITYMORTALITYMORTALITY DECLINEMOTHERNATURAL DISASTERSNEWBORNSNUMBER OF CHILDRENNURSINGNUTRITIONNUTRITIONAL STATUSOLD AGEOLD AGE PENSIONOLDER ADULTSPARENTINGPARENTSPARTICIPATION IN COMMUNITY LIFEPEASANTSPEDIATRICSPERMANENT RESIDENCEPHYSICAL ACTIVITYPHYSICAL CAPITALPHYSICAL DEVELOPMENTPHYSICAL HEALTHPOLICY ANALYSISPOLICY DISCUSSIONSPOLICY FRAMEWORKPOLICY RESEARCHPOLICY RESEARCH WORKING PAPERPOLITICAL PARTIESPOLITICIANSPOOR HEALTHPOPULATION AND DEVELOPMENTPOPULATION ASSOCIATIONPOPULATION STUDIESPREGNANCYPRIMARY CAREGIVERSPRIMARY EDUCATIONPROGRESSPUBLIC HEALTHQUALITY SERVICESRADIORECIPROCITYREFUGEERELIGIOUS GROUPRELIGIOUS GROUPSRELIGIOUS LEADERSRESOURCE ALLOCATIONRISK FACTORSRURAL AREASRURAL POPULATIONRURAL WOMENSECONDARY EDUCATIONSELF-ESTEEMSEXSOCIAL BEHAVIORSOCIAL CAPITALSOCIAL COHESIONSOCIAL DYNAMICSSOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURESOCIAL INTERACTIONSSOCIAL NETWORKSSOCIAL NORMSSOCIAL PARTICIPATIONSOCIAL RELATIONSSOCIAL RELATIONSHIPSSOCIAL SCIENCESOCIAL SUPPORTSOCIETYSOCIOECONOMIC DIFFERENCESSOCIOLOGYSPILLOVERSTAGES OF LIFESURVIVAL RATETELEVISIONTRADE UNIONSTRADITIONSUNEDUCATED MOTHERSURBAN AREASURBAN POPULATIONVOLUNTEER WORKWARWORKERSWORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATIONYOUNG MOTHERS10.1596/1813-9450-6264
