Childhood anemia is a disorder mainly caused by iron deficiency, severely affecting the physical and cognitive development of children under five years old, with children under two being the most vulnerable. In Peru, in 2023, 43.1% of children aged 6 to 35 months suffered from anemia, with higher prevalence in regions such as Puno, Ucayali, and Madre de Dios. This issue is addressed through specific treatments according to the child's age and government programs like Qali Warma and Niños de Hierro, which aim to improve nutrition and access to iron. However, factors such as maternal education and employment also play a crucial role in reducing childhood anemia by improving living conditions and access to essential resources. The prevention of anemia does not rely solely on government measures but also on factors such as maternal education and employment. Working mothers often have additional funds to improve their diet and access essential services, but it may become challenging for them to provide direct care for their children. The objective of this research is to analyze the impact of maternal employment on the likelihood of childhood anemia in Peru between 2019 and 2023, comparing the results across departments. Using data from the Demographic and Family Health Survey (ENDES) and a multinomial logit analysis, the study aims to assess how maternal employment influences childhood anemia, considering aspects such as healthcare access, maternal education, and wealth index.
