Economic costs of childhood stunting to the private sector in low- and middle-income countries

New research from The Power of Nutrition and Modern Scientist Global reveals businesses in low and middle-income countries lose more than a quarter of a trillion dollars (up to $264.6 billion) in revenue every year, due to their employees experiencing chronic undernutrition in childhood. The novel study – The Economic Cost of Stunting to Businesses in Low- and Middle-Income Countries – is the first to quantify the cost of childhood stunting to the private sector in emerging economies.
