Abstract

Stunting cases continue to increase, along with the high risk of undernutrition, the increasing prevalence of malnutrition, and decreasing productivity. If this condition is not handled correctly, it can affect Indonesia's development performance, inequality, and poverty. Stunting can hinder economic growth and labor productivity, affecting 11% of GDP (gross domestic product) and reducing the income of adult workers by up to 20%. Based on this, it is necessary to make prevention and control efforts in nutrition intervention activities an economic investment. Therefore, this study estimates the economic potential lost due to stunting in children under five. This descriptive study is based on processing secondary data from various related agencies. We employed Konig's formula and correction factors from Horton's study. The results of this study show that the incidence of stunting in children under five in Indonesia in 2021 was 24.4%. Nationally, Indonesia has the potential for economic loss due to stunting in toddlers, which ranges from IDR 15,062 to IDR 67,780 billion. These are equivalent to a range of 0.89-3.99% of the total GDP in 2021 (IDR 16,970.8 trillion).

印度尼西亚因发育迟缓造成的潜在经济损失

发育迟缓病例继续增加，同时营养不良的风险很高，营养不良的发生率不断上升，生产力不断下降。如果这种情况处理不当，它可能会影响印度尼西亚的发展绩效、不平等和贫困。发育迟缓会阻碍经济增长和劳动生产率，影响国内生产总值(GDP)的11%，使成年工人的收入减少多达20%。在此基础上，有必要将营养干预活动中的防治工作作为一项经济投资。因此，本研究估计了五岁以下儿童发育迟缓造成的经济潜力损失。本描述性研究是基于对来自各相关机构的二手数据的处理。我们采用Konig公式和Horton研究中的修正因子。这项研究的结果表明，2021年印度尼西亚五岁以下儿童发育迟缓的发生率为24.4%。在全国范围内，印尼因幼儿发育迟缓可能造成15062亿至67780亿印尼盾的经济损失。这相当于2021年GDP总量(16,970.8万亿印尼盾)的0.89-3.99%。
