Excited to Announce My Latest Research Publication! I am thrilled to share that my paper, "The Role of Early Childbearing on Child Health Outcomes in Punjab, Pakistan," has been published in the Pakistan Development Review (PDR). This research explores the critical issue of early childbearing in developing countries, using newly available data from the Multiple Index Cluster Survey for Punjab 2017-18. By employing a cluster & household fixed effects model, we examine the short and long-term impacts of early childbearing on child health outcomes. The results indicate a negative effect of early childbearing on child health, and highlight the influence of individual, household, and cultural factors. These findings are robust and add valuable insights to the existing literature.
