摘要

A RECENT REVIEW of 306 child nutrition surveys from developing countries concluded that evidence on sex differentials in undernutrition does not support the notion that antifemale bias in intrahousehold food allocation and health care is causing excess female undernutrition (Marcoux 2002). As Marcoux noted, "the statistical evidence tells us that, where detectable differences by sex exist, boys usually fare worse than girls by anthropometric indicators." Sommerfelt and Arnold (1998) reached a similarconclusion after reviewing evidence on sex differentials in stunting, underweight, and wasting from 41 Demographic and Health Surveys. Sommerfelt and Piani (1997) examined sex differences in immunization coverage in 28 countries that participated in Demographic and Health Surveys during 1990-94 and found a "slight tendency for vaccination coverage to be somewhat higher among girls than among boys." A detailed review of literature on intrahousehold distribution of food found little evidence of discrimination against girls in feeding (Haddad et al. 1996). Basu (1993), drawing on field data from India and a review of literature on household allocation of food in South Asia, where antifemale discrimination is believed to be widespread, found little evidence of discrimination against girls. Analyzing data from a national survey in India, Mishra et al. (1999) found that boys and girls were about equally likely to be stunted and underweight, but boys were slightly more likely than girls to be wasted. Schoenbaum et al. (1995) also found no consistent evidence of differences by sex in feeding or nutritional status among children aged 0-18 months in the Gaza Strip.
