项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The initial years of life are increasingly emphasized as critical for health and productivity over the life cycle and increasing efforts have been made to improve early childhood development (ECD). Yet little is known about determinants of ECD in developing countries, including the importance of family background. The parent grant on "Filipino Early Childhood Development: Longitudinal Analysis" for this FIRCA application attempts to fill part of this knowledge gap through: (1) collection by the Office of Population Studies (OPS) in the Philippines of longitudinal data on children aged 0-4 and their families, ECD services providers, and communities in 2001 prior to initiation of a new ECD program with three rounds of follow-up data; (2) analyses of impacts of the ECD program; and (3) capacity-building through collaboration. This FIRCA application is for new analyses of effects of parental background on ECD and on maternal health care, building on data collected, knowledge gained, and collaborative research relations developed under the parent grant -- but going beyond the parent project. The specific FIRCA topics have been developed by OPS staff based on their expertise and research interests and are grounded in substantial familiarity with the current state of and gaps in understanding of child and maternal health in the Philippines from a variety of disciplinary perspectives. The construct of technological/biological "production functions" for indicators of ECD (or of maternal health) dependent directly on inputs chosen by the parents and on inputs exogenous to parents will be used to organize empirical investigation of direct impacts of parental background on ECD (or on maternal health). Exploration of alternative specifications will provide essential insights into how important are strong assumptions used in most of the literature for correct estimation and interpretation of causal impacts of family background on.ECD and maternal health. Reduced-form demand relations that incorporate both direct and indirect effects of family background will provide further insight on how family resources and behaviors affect ECD and maternal health. This FIRCA research, centered at OPS with OPS staff leading the studies, will enrich our knowledge of critical effects of parental background on ECD and maternal health care in a low-income context, as well as permit further analytical capacity-building at OPS.

描述（由申请人提供）：越来越强调生命的最初几年对于在整个生命周期中的健康和生产力至关重要，并且已经为改善幼儿发展（ECD）做出了越来越多的努力。然而，对于发展中国家的ECD决定因素知之甚少，包括家庭背景的重要性。该FIRCA申请的“菲律宾早期儿童发展：纵向分析”的父母授予，试图通过：（1）在菲律宾的人口研究办公室（OPS）收集的一部分知识差距：（1）在2001年在2001年启动了针对新ECD计划的纵向儿童及其家人，ECD服务提供者和社区的纵向数据，以下是针对新的eCD计划。（2）分析ECD计划的影响；（3）通过协作来建造能力。该FIRCA应用程序是针对父母背景对ECD和孕产妇医疗保健的影响的新分析，建立在父母赠款下建立的数据，知识和协作研究关系的基础上 - 但超越了父母项目。 OPS员工根据他们的专业知识和研究兴趣开发了特定的FIRCA主题，并从各种纪律角度从菲律宾了解菲律宾的儿童和孕产妇健康方面的现状和差距基于实质性。技术/生物学“生产功能”的构造，用于直接取决于父母选择的投入和父母的投入的指标（或孕产妇健康）的构建，将用于组织对父母背景对ECD（或母体健康）的直接影响的经验研究。探索替代规格将为大多数文献中使用的强有力假设的重要性估算和解释，以正确估计和解释家庭背景的因果关系和孕产妇健康，这将提供基本的见解。减少了纳入家庭背景的直接和间接影响的需求关系，将为家庭资源和行为如何影响ECD和孕产妇健康提供进一步的见解。这项FIRCA研究以OPS员工为中心，领先于OPS，将丰富我们对父母背景对ECD和孕产妇在低收入环境中的关键影响的了解，并允许OPS进一步的分析能力建设。
