| Abstract | The primary purpose of this paper is to set forth the rationale for governments' undertaking of strategies that promote the growth of children. The rationale has three dimensions: economic, humanitarian, and political. The primary focus of this paper is on the economic arguments, although the main humanitarian and political arguments are also indicated. The economic rationale is threefold: improved child growth leads to a more productive adult work force, increases the return on the country's educational investment, and makes more efficient use of health care resources. Concerning programmatic action, the multiple etiology of growth retardation dictates that various types of growth promotion interventions are required. Six action areas are considered important: motivational campaigns, growth monitoring, food and income interventions, health interventions, child spacing, and child care. As intervention occurs, benefits will accrue from the research of growth-promoting and long-term effects of intervention programs; aspects of parental behavior such as family dynamics and decision making; and implementation experiences, including political mobilization, strategy formulation, program organization, and cost effectiveness. A reference list offers over 100 items. (RH) |
