Objective:Todeterminetheassociation betweenwomenempowermentonstuntingamongchildrenaged6to59 months from the2016 Ethiopian Demographicand HealthSurveydatasets. Methods:Thestudyused theEthiopianDemographicandHealth Survey 2016 dataset,whichisa crosssectionalstudy.Thestudyparticipantswere currentmarriedwomenofthereproductiveage(15– 49years)grouplivingwiththeirhusbandsorpartnerswhohavechildrenaged6-59monthsinthehousehold whowerealiveatthetimeofthesurvey.Data selectedandexportedtoSPSSversion22foranalysis. Complex sample binary logistic regressionanalysis was employedtodeterminetheassociationbetweenchildren stunting aged 6-59 months and the predictor variables.Inaddition,multivariable logistic regressionmodelwas performedusing variablesthatare significantatPvalue ≤.05with95%ofconfidencelevel. Result:The prevalence of stunting among children aged 6- 59 month with 95% confidence interval was 41%(3,318) (95%CI: 39% - 43.3%). Around 45 %( 3806) of mothers employed in the last 12 months before the survey. Among mothers who had a job, 2072(54%) had seasonal jobs and the rest 1734(45%) had jobs throughout the year. About 50.5 %( 1921)of the mothers have been not paid for the job they were engaged with. Approximately 5855(69%) of mothers have had a positive attitude towards the husband justifying hitting or beating his wife.Maternal attitude towards wife beating (AOR [95% CI]) = 1.057[0.889, 1.256]), decision on large household purchase (AOR [95% CI] = 1.001[0.807, 1.243])had no association with child stunting.In contrast, Household wealth index (AOR [95% CI]) = 1.98 [1.44, 2.726]), Maternal height (AOR [95%CI] = 1.9[1.280, 2.82]), child sex (AOR [95% CI] = 1.255[1.077, 1.463]) were significantly associate with child stunting. Conclusion and recommendation: The study indicated very high child stunting among children age 6-59 month. It also identified low women’s economic and socio-familial empowerment. Thus, it is recommended thatMinistry of Health up to local health service authority should strengthen their effort on the implementation programs which aim to improve childhood undernutrition. Advocacy programs should be introduced to strengthen the practice on implementation policies and proclamation that enshrines women’ right so as to support women empowerment and thereby improve young childhood nutrition in Ethiopia.
