OverviewThis book examines the state of child health and well-being in India. It traces the roots of child health inequalities in India; draws on the latest NFHS-V, 2019–21 data; and analyses various child health and nutrition indicators from the perspective of equity and efficiency. This volume addresses various contexts and methodologies available to measure health inequalities among Indian children. It also assesses the child’s well-being in terms of “Multidimensional Child Poverty”. As a policy document, this work examines and quantifies the equity and efficiency dimensions of various child health indicators among Indian states. Assessment of between- and within-group inequalities by various socio-economic groups provides new insights into addressing the issue of health inequalities among Indian children. An in-depth work on child health and development, this book will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of health and public policy, development studies, health economics, and South Asian studies. It will also be of use to NGOs, policymakers, and think-tanks in the field.
