The Effect of Education, Economic Growth and Artificial Intelligence on Stunting
Stunting is a global health issue where a toddler's body is smaller than average due to chronic malnutrition, particularly during pregnancy or the first 1,000 days of life.This research aims to explore the factors that contribute to stunting, focusing on three variables: education (X1), economic growth (X2), and internet access (X3).Using the EViews analysis method, we investigate how changes in each variable individually and collectively impact stunting rates.Our findings indicate that a 1% decrease in education levels leads to a 4.1% rise in stunting, while a drop in economic growth correlates with a 0.007% increase in stunting.Interestingly, a 1% increase in internet access is linked to a 0.12% rise in stunting, suggesting complex social and economic dynamics.Simultaneously, when education, economic growth, and internet access are tested collectively, increases in these variables also correspond to an increase in stunting, pointing to possible interdependent factors influencing stunting rates.
