Poverty can be thought of as a vicious circle. Low-income households have less education and are probably less healthy than wealthier ones,making it very difficult for themto leave that poverty state through their own work and effort. It has been previously established that investments in children’s health and education could help break this circle by enhancing individual’s future income through their future productivity. For instance, Currie and Hyson (1999), Case et al. (2003) and Behrman and Rosenzweig (2004) have found strong links between child’s health and future income, education attainment and adult health. Not surprisingly, many of theMillennium Development Goals are related to the improvement of children’s education. | Help Your Child Grow Up Healthy and Strong Department of Health and Human Services Department of Agriculture Department of Education HEALTHIER 4 Body Mass Index A Useful Tool Body Mass Index or bmi is used to assess overweight and risk for overweight.
