“For rural parents, at face-value, the reasons to migrate to cities seem obvious: better access to jobs, health care and education opportunities for their children,” said Laurence Chandy, UNICEF Director of Data, Research and Policy. (...) Moreover, when children from urban and rural households with similar levels of wealth are compared, the urban advantage is no longer apparent.     “Children should be a focus of urban planning, yet in many cities they are forgotten, with millions of children cut-off from social services in urban slums and informal settlements, and exposed to environmental or health hazards due to overcrowding,” Chandy added. (...) The report is based on an analysis of 80 surveys (Demographic and Health Survey, DHS, and Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys, MICS) from 77 countries conducted between 2011 and 2016.

These advantages include a lower risk of gastrointestinal infection for the baby, more rapid maternal weight loss after birth, and delayed return of menstrual periods.
