Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

In poor countries, over a quarter of children under the age of five years are malnourished. The corresponding rate in rich countries is below 3%. Unfortunately, being undernourished as a child is associated with worse economic outcomes as an adult, largely a result of worse adult health. Thus, malnutrition among children creates one of the starkest discrepancies in individual well-being between rich and poor countries. Yet, income growth does not seem to be the solution per se. Despite rapid economic growth in the past 20 years, South Asia, for example, continues to have inordinately high levels of undernourished children. This issue brings together a set of papers on trends, causes, and potential policy solutions related to undernutrition in South Asia.1 This region deserves special attention both because it accounts for the largest number of malnourished children in the world and because the rates of underweight and stunted children are puzzlingly high—higher than one would predict based on the region’s income or performance on other health indicators such as infant mortality. To give one example, if we use demographic and health surveys from the past 10 years to compare India and Sub-Saharan Africa, we see the incidence of underweight children is roughly twice as high in India, even though its population is significantly richer. In focusing on such anomalies, we believe this issue will present evidence and draw conclusions with applicability to developing countries in regions beyond South Asia.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
