Abstract

This study aims to investigate the economic impact of maternal human capital, consisting of dietary nutrition knowledge and education, on the nutrition of stunted children under five, specifically in tin mining and non-lead mining areas in Bangka Belitung Islands Province, Indonesia. This study was descriptive and quantitative, using primary data from 346 samples of stunted children living around mines (143 samples) and non-mines (203 samples). Data were analyzed using linear regression, which consisted of dummy variables of stunted toddler nutrition, nutritional food knowledge, and maternal education. As a result, knowledge of nutritious food and maternal education in tin mining areas affect the nutrition of stunted children under five by 27 percent, while in non-tin mining areas by 51 percent. While the results of testing per independent variable, in both samples, the variable of maternal knowledge about nutritious food is more influential than the variable of maternal education. The findings of this study are expected to improve the education and knowledge of mothers in tin mining areas, especially about food nutrition. Future research will be more useful if mothers' expertise in diversifying food is combined with mothers' understanding of nutritious food and education.
