Remittances, sanitation and child malnutrition in middle-income countries: A case study from rural Northeast Thailand and Central Vietnam
• Remittances increase the propensity of owning a flush toilet. • Owning a flush toilet reduces children’s underweight, wasting, and stunting. • Female children and children from poor households benefit more. • Children from lower educated mothers benefit less. • Improving rural education and public water systems reduces child undernutrition.
