Socio-economic affecting child malnutrition in Tacloban City. Tacloban City Aubrey Miranda [and] Dexter Ax G. Uyvico 2010. xvi, 82 leaves illustrations 28.5 cm. Undergraduate thesis (B.A.S.S. Economics)--University of the Philippines, Tacloban This study aimed to determine the socio-economic factors which contribute most to child malnutrition in selected 5 barangays in Tacloban City namely: 48-A, 80, 83-B, 90, and 92. Based on the results, the greatest factors affecting child malnutrition are the income and the size of the family. Therefore, child malnutrition co-exists with the low income and large family size. However, the local government has done little to counter this serious problem of malnutrition. Despite the fact that most of the respondents answered that there are available health center and workers in the barangay, it would be misleading to assume that availability can be equated to accessibility. In addressing the problem of malnutrition, the government should give attention in giving more opportunities and accessible medical facilities to these impoverished individuals most especially in the countryside and to promote and at the same time invest more on quality education.
