Abstract

Background: In Bangladesh, the harsh reality of child labor persists, with over 8 million children engaged in such work. This not only deprives them of their childhood but also has severe implications for their mental and physical health. This study seeks to investigate the daily food intake and nutritional status of child laborers in Rangpur City, shedding light on the broader health impacts of child labor in this region. Methods: The study employed a structured questionnaire and anthropometric measurements to assess the socioeconomic status and dietary habits of participants. Pretesting ensured questionnaire accuracy, while daily and weekly recall methods captured comprehensive food consumption data. Socioeconomic inquiries included income, education, employment, and family details, providing a holistic understanding of participants' circumstances. Results: The survey highlights that most working children are aged 12-14, predominantly employed in mechanics and sales, working long hours under precarious conditions for low wages, primarily to support their families. Despite some attending primary school and receiving employer-provided meals and medical aid, these children struggle with inadequate education and nutrition, and a high incidence of workplace accidents. Conclusion: Child laborers have often poorer nutritional status than the average person. They are not provided with a proper diet. Consequently, they are dealing with various health problems.

Abstract

The participation of husbands in the Family Planning (FP) program is very low even though their role is very important in realizing a prosperous family. The low participation of husbands as FP acceptors is influenced by the limited choice of contraceptives for men and the lack of awareness of the importance of a shared role in reproductive health. The purpose of this study was to identify various factors that influence the participation of husbands as acceptors of the Family Planning (FP) program. This study used the method Systematic Literature Review as its main strategy by searching articles through Google Scholar and ScienceDirect. Based on the results of the search and analysis, seven relevant articles were found and worthy of being used as review material in this research literature review. The review of seven articles showed that husbands’ participation as family planning acceptors was most consistently influenced by knowledge, wife’s support, health workers’ roles, attitudes, and family income. However, other factors such as education, employment, and sources of information show varying results.
