TAILIEUCHUNG - Understanding and Improving Aboriginal Maternal and Child Health in Canada

Besides the previously discussed papers about impacts of shocks at birth, our results are related to research on gender bias during early childhood. Much of the literature finds evidence favoring boys over girls (see Rose (1999) for evidence from India that gender bias in infant mortality drops significantly when districts experience higher rainfall or Dercon and Krishnan (2000) for evidence from Ethiopia that poor households are unable to smooth their consumption, with women bearing the brunt of adverse shocks). However, in contrast to this literature, we find no differential gender impact of war on children’s health, as both war-exposed boys. | august 201 1 Understanding and Improving Aboriginal Maternal and Child Health in Canada Conversations about Promising Practices across Canada Health Council of Canada Conseil canadien de la santé about the health council of canada Created by the 2003 First Ministers Accord on Health Care Renewal the Health Council of Canada is an independent national agency that reports on the progress of health care renewal in Canada.
