Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Along with the increasing demographic trends in the past few years, such as increasing life expectancy and decreasing fertility, attention to a sandwich generation where middle-aged people care for young people and elderly parents simultaneously also increased, although in fact in Indonesia the phenomenon is not a strange thing. Many studies have conducted research on the impact of being in the position of a squeezed generation, both in terms of health, employment, expenditure and so on. However, on the contrary, this study focuses on the health of the child which is likened to the stack of a sandwich at the bottom layer. This study compares the health of children who are in sandwich generation with those who are not in that position. METHODS: This study used panel data from IFLS in 2007 and 2014 with a unit of analysis of 6,886 children aged 0 to 18 years. This study used Multinomial Logistic Regression in panel data, with BMI and Hemoglobin Levels as child health variables and sandwich generation dummy as the main independent variables, while the control variables used household characteristics, parental characteristics, and child characteristics. RESULTS: being in the sandwich generation significantly affected the child's BMI (?= -0.0194139
