Abstract
⺠We assess how infant and child undernutrition varies across four dimensions of poverty status. ⺠There is a strong association between food poverty and stunting among children aged 6-11 months. ⺠Assets poverty and subjective poverty have stronger effects on undernutrition at older age. ⺠The effect of expenditures poverty does not reach statistical significant in any age group. ⺠These findings suggest the need to design and scale up nutrition interventions among the urban poor.
