Impact of maternal schooling on weight at birth in Peru

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to see if Peruvian mothers with greater levels of education produce healthier infants (N=80,525). According to the findings, Peruvian mothers with a higher educational level had healthier infants than Peruvian mothers with a lower educational level. In terms of statistics, one additional education year in Peru is linked to a 9.4678 gram rise in Peruvian birth weight and a 0.27 percentage point reduction in Peruvian low birth weight risk.
