Abstract

Indonesia is encountering consecutive health problems caused by malnutrition. The latter poses long-term effects on children’s development. As this issue continue its prominence, using linear regression and binary logistic with time lag to analyze data from Indonesia Family Life Survey (IFLS) in 2007 and 2014 shall support the analysis of issue. Previous results from the models indicated that maternal decision-making in their share of food expenditure has a weak correlation for stunted children's experience. However, this study revealed different results. It suggested that involvement in from men in nutritional knowledge, skills, and financial backing to advance women's roles contributes to better children's nutritional outcomes. This study proved urgency to reassess and address the role of women in household decision-making to tackle issues of malnutrition in Indonesia.

Bahasa Abstract

Indonesia berturut-turut menghadapi masalah kesehatan yang disebabkan oleh kekurangan gizi. Hal ini mempunyai dampak jangka panjang terhadap tumbuh kembang anak. Karena permasalahan ini semakin menonjol, penggunaan regresi linier dan logistik biner dengan jeda waktu untuk menganalisis data dari Indonesia Family Life Survey (IFLS) pada tahun 2007 dan 2014 akan mendukung analisis ini. Hasil-hasil model sebelumnya menunjukkan bahwa pengambilan keputusan ibu dalam menentukan porsi pengeluaran makanan memiliki korelasi yang lemah terhadap pengalaman anak-anak yang mengalami stunting. Namun penelitian ini mengungkapkan hasil berbeda. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa keterlibatan laki-laki dalam pengetahuan, keterampilan, dan dukungan keuangan untuk meningkatkan peran perempuan berkontribusi terhadap hasil gizi anak yang lebih baik. Studi ini membuktikan pentingnya menilai kembali pentingnya peran perempuan dalam pengambilan keputusan rumah tangga untuk mengatasi masalah kekurangan gizi di Indonesia.
