Levels of child malnutrition in India fell only slowly during the 1990s, despite significant economic growth and large public spending on the Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) program, of which the major component is supplementary feeding for malnourished children. To unravel this puzzle, the authors assess the program's placement and its outcomes using National Family Health Survey data from 1992 and 1998. They find that program placement is clearly regressive across states. The states with the greatest need for the program - the poor northern states with high levels of child malnutrition and nearly half of India's population - have the lowest program coverage and the lowest budgetary allocations from the central government. Program placement within a state is more progressive: poorer and larger villages have a higher probability of having an ICDS center, as do those with other development programs or community associations. The authors also find little evidence of program impact on child nutrition status in villages with ICDS centers.

Background
Established in 2000, Millennium Development Goal 4 (MDG4) catalysed extraordinary political, financial, and social commitments to reduce under-5 mortality by two-thirds between 1990 and 2015. At the country level, the pace of progress in improving child survival has varied markedly, highlighting a crucial need to further examine potential drivers of accelerated or slowed decreases in ...

Здоровье ассоциируется прежде всего с той областью, которой занимаются медицина и социальный институт здравоохранения, а также с естественно-научным знанием. Постановка соответствующих вопросов в контексте гуманитарного знания может показаться вторжением на чужую территорию. Однако нерешенность проблем, связанных с сохранением здоровья россиян, указывает на недостаточность привычных, чрезмерно тех-нократичных подходов к их решению. Естественно-научные взгляды на феномен здоровья ...

Background
Improving survival and extending the longevity of life for all populations requires timely, robust evidence on local mortality levels and trends. The Global Burden of Disease 2015 Study (GBD 2015) provides a comprehensive assessment of all-cause and cause-specific mortality for 249 causes in 195 countries and territories from 1980 to 2015. These results informed an ...

The mortality of advanced-age residents of Russia has remained stable and high for several decades. However, the steady increase in life expectancy that started in the mid-2000s is largely due to decreased mortality among the elderly. The decrease in mortality among Moscow residents over age 80 was especially large during this period. We found evidence ...

It is generally considered that the most adequate indicator of mortality in any population in a certain calendar period is life expectancy at birth (LE). Yet this indicator has serious drawbacks, and its use leads to a number of unjustified difficulties. The main limitation is that the method for calculating life expectancy is still not ...

Современное демографическое неблагополучие России имеет долгую историю. Даже если оставить в стороне демографические катастрофы первой половины ХХ в., явное ухудшение ситуации просматривается с середины 1960-х годов. После распада СССР Россия получила тяжелое демографическое наследие. Требовались очень серьезные и продуманные меры для того, чтобы переломить давние неблагоприятные тенденции и ответить на новые вызовы, перед которыми оказалась ...

Главный демографический феномен в развитых и многих развивающихся странах — старение населения. В его основе две многолетние тенденции — устойчивый рост продолжительности жизни в старших возрастах и снижение рождаемости до уровня, когда детские поколения не обеспечивают замещение родительских в количественном отношении. Демографические прогнозы показывают, что в перспективе процесс старения будет не просто углубляться, но и ...

In this paper we explore political-economic determinants of health. We draw upon the unique natural experiment of post-communist transitions to show the effect on health (measured as life expectancy and cause-specific mortality) of the interaction between institutions for political (democratic rules) and economic (free market entry) competitiveness. To analyze this relationship empirically, we employ panel ...
