Abstract

Low Birth Weight (LBW) can lead to stunting and the impact of stunting in long term. Socioeconomic status and demographic factors can be a cause of baby’s low birth weight. The study aims to analyze the probability of a household giving birth to a baby with low birth weight. The data used in the research uses data from the 2021 National Socio-economic Survey (Susenas). The model used in this study is a logit model with a total of 2,203,472. The result shows poor households, household partners with low education, and household members who smoke have a significantly lower probability of giving birth to normal baby’s weight Meanwhile, households who work in the formal sector and live in urban areas have a significantly higher probability of giving birth to normal-weight babies. Households with a good socioeconomic status will provide optimal nutrition. Households in urban areas still have a better level of health than those in rural areas and households that do not smoke will give birth to healthier babies with normal weight.
