longitudinal data.The World Health Organisation recommends that mothers should exclusively breastfeed their children for six months and continue breastfeeding alongside other foods until the child is two or more years old. Breastfeeding protects children against diarrhoeal diseases, respiratory tract infections, asthma, and reduces mortality. Studies have also found that breastfeeding aids the development of children's thought processes, including remembering, problem-solving, and decision-making. However, there are few studies from low-income countries, and few that have looked at the effect of breastfeeding on the later school performance of young children and adolescents. This proposed project, therefore, aims to investigate the effects of breastfeeding duration on the educational attainment of young children and adolescents in sub-Saharan Africa. We will use data from existing studies and use statistical techniques to disentangle the possible direct effects of breastfeeding on education outcomes, from other factors that are likely to influence this association, such as the mother's educational level.

纵向数据。世界卫生组织建议，母亲应在六个月内纯母乳喂养子女，并继续母乳喂养，同时进食其他食物，直至子女两岁或两岁以上。母乳喂养可保护儿童免受腹泻、呼吸道感染和哮喘的侵害，并降低死亡率。研究还发现，母乳喂养有助于儿童思维过程的发展，包括记忆，解决问题和决策。然而，来自低收入国家的研究很少，很少有人关注母乳喂养对幼儿和青少年后期学习表现的影响。因此，本拟议项目旨在调查母乳喂养时间对撒哈拉以南非洲幼儿和青少年受教育程度的影响。我们将使用现有研究的数据，并使用统计技术来理清母乳喂养对教育成果的可能直接影响，以及可能影响这种关联的其他因素，如母亲的教育水平。
