Resumen: Under-5 mortality and malnutrition are major public health challenges in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), worsened by crises like the COVID-19 pandemic. Evidence on social protection reducing under-5 mortality in LMICs is limited. We examined the impact of social protection coverage, defined as the proportion of the population covered by any form of social protection, on under-5 mortality, stunting, and wasting across 46 LMICs from 2000 to 2021.
