This research aims to find the relationship between maternal employment and chronic child malnutrition for children between 13 to 59 months in Peru. For this, the database that we used was the Demographic and Family Health Survey of 2019, where we can find the information of the mother and her child, as well as their anthropometric measurements. In addition, the Logit and Probit methodologies were used to quantify the impact that these variables have to each other. Based on the model selection criteria, the Probit model was the one that had the best adjusted to be able to explain the relationship between these two variables. The result was that for a mother, working reduces the probability that her child will suffer from chronic malnutrition. Also, this investigation found other variables that affect the chronic child malnutrition such as urbanity, socioeconomic status, urbanity, type of work of the mother and number of children in the home.
