Abstract
- This paper investigates the impact of social pensions on child nutrition and health outcomes in Nepal. Empirical estimates suggest that the outcomes are heterogeneous with gender playing a key role, both of the social pension recipients as well as that of the children. The social pension received by females is found to have a positive influence on the weight‐for‐height of girls but no such impact is existent on that of boys. In contrast, social pensions received by male had no implications for children's nutrition irrespective of their gender. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
