Abstract

Stunting as an event of failure to grow as a normal human is indicated through measurements of height / age, weight/age, and various other anthropometric measurements. If it continues to adulthood, it will lose the opportunity to enjoy higher education and certain types of work that require high height and weight, even though the position promises high salary/wages to strengthen purchasing power in the family and savings for investment. The failure to deal with stunting since the embryo and the growth of children and adolescents has caused future disasters for the child concerned and for the country. This article is a content analysis of the current stunting conditions in Indonesia and the future impacts.
