Abstract

Household resilience can play a role in mitigating the adverse effects of natural disasters on child nutrition. The study reveals that natural disasters detrimentally impact children's nutrition. However, children residing in resilient households exhibit a reduced likelihood of malnutrition compared to those in less resilient households. Moreover, in the event of a shock, children from resilient households demonstrate better outcomes than their counterparts in less resilient households. By dissecting the components of resilience, the study identifies that households with greater assets and access to social safety nets are adept at alleviating the detrimental effects of shocks. This analysis underscores the significance of household resilience in safeguarding child nutrition during times of crisis.
