Experts urge nutrition to count in human development measures
Original: Why early nutrition should measure human development
A SciDev.Net opinion piece argues that early childhood nutrition should be treated as a core indicator of human development, alongside measures like income and education. The authors contend that growth in a child's first years reflects and shapes long-term national progress, and that development indices underweight nutritional status in early life.
Why now: The argument challenges how development is measured, prompting debate among health and policy audiences.
