Published in The Lancet, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelancet.com\/journals\/lancet\/article\/PIIS0140-6736(21)00534-1\/fulltext\">the study<\/a> is&nbsp;the largest to date to examine the relationship between mothers&#8217; and fathers\u2019 education and child mortality on a global scale. \u201c<em>Parental education and inequalities in child mortality: A global systematic review and meta-analysis\u201d<\/em> was led by the Centre for Global Health&nbsp;<em>Inequalities<\/em> Research (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ntnu.edu\/chain\">CHAIN<\/a>) and the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.healthdata.org\/\">IHME<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lower education of&nbsp;mothers and fathers was found to be a risk factor for mortality of children under the age of five.&nbsp;The meta-analysis found that each additional year of mothers\u2019 and fathers\u2019 schooling is linked to a reduction in under-5 mortality of 1.6% and 3.0% respectively. Over 12 years of a parent&#8217;s education, these effects accumulate to a 17.3% decreased child mortality related to paternal education and a 31% decrease linked to maternal education. To visualise these findings, <a href=\"https:\/\/eurohealthnet.eu\/CHAIN-factsheet-parental-education-and-child-mortality-embedded\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a factsheet capturing the most important findings of the study<\/a> was produced by CHAIN and its partner EuroHealthNet. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=aqv7PvRJkFQ&amp;ab_channel=EuroHealthNetBrussels\">A video<\/a> was also produced by NTNU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Education may provide a way to improve the health of future generations and promote sustainable development, based on the study\u2019s findings. The parent-child link between health and education underscores the importance of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4 to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all with universal quality education across the life-course. Education is an important determinant of health. The research team calls on leaders to frame investments in education as contributors to better health for all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"762\" height=\"352\" data-src=\"https:\/\/unescochair-ghe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Parental-education-factsheet.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3997 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/unescochair-ghe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Parental-education-factsheet.png 762w, https:\/\/unescochair-ghe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Parental-education-factsheet-300x139.png 300w, https:\/\/unescochair-ghe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Parental-education-factsheet-16x7.png 16w, https:\/\/unescochair-ghe.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Parental-education-factsheet-373x172.png 373w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 762px) 100vw, 762px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 762px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 762\/352;\" \/><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A comprehensive analysis has found that each year of parental education is associated with lower risks of childhood mortality.
