Access to Education, Poverty, Malnutrition and Health in Bangladesh

TL;DRAbstract

This chapter explores the strong relationships between exclusion from education, poverty, malnutrition and poor health in Bangladesh, drawing on the empirical and conceptual work of the Consortium for Research on Educational Access Transitions and Equity (CREATE). Using CREATE’s conceptual model of ‘zones of exclusion’ and the detailed data collected in Bangladesh as part of the consortium’s work, the chapter describes the relationships between exclusion from education, poverty, malnutrition and health. The chapter argues that these complex and multidirectional relationships point to a need to tackle problems of exclusion from education, nutrition and health together.
