% of Children under age 5 - Growth Permanently Stunted - From 2012 to 2020

Percentage of children worldwide under the age of 5 who's growth was stunted from 2012 to 2020.

These numbers are extremely alarming. Why is this important information not talked about on every news media outlet?

21 to 25% of all children worldwide have had their growth permanently stunted.

Stunting in early childhood, especially in the first 1000 days from conception until two years of age impairs growth and adversely affect the functional development of the child.

Stunting is the impaired growth and development in children caused due to poor nutrition, recurrent infections, and lack of psychosocial stimulus. It is a primary indication of malnutrition and infections like diarrhoea, helminthiasis in early childhood and malnutrition during fetal growth caused by an undernourished mother.

What could be more important than making sure all children of this world are properly fed a nourishing meal?
