Wealth-related inequality in vitamin A rich food consumption among children of age 6–23 months in Ethiopia; Wagstaff decomposition of the 2019 mini-DHS data
We found pro-rich wealth-related inequality in VAC among children of age 6-23 months in Ethiopia. Additionally, maternal education, region, ANC visit, and place of delivery were the significant contributors of wealth-related inequality of VAC. Nutritional related interventions should prioritise children from poorer households and less educated mothers. Moreover, enhancing access to ANC and health facilities delivery services through education, advocacy, and campaign programs is highly recommended in the study setting.
