The findings of this research (1) provide strong support for the notion that unwanted children suffer health consequences; (2) provide strong evidence in favor of measures to help parents attain their family size goals; and (3) recommend that governments strengthen vaccination programs to ensure 100 percent coverage and that they promote medical treatment for all children in case of illness.
