The purpose of this study is to see if Peruvian mothers with greater levels of education produce healthier infants (N=80,525). According to the findings, Peruvian mothers with a higher educational level had healthier infants than Peruvian mothers with a lower educational level. In terms of statistics, one additional education year in Peru is linked to a 9.4678 gram rise in Peruvian birth weight and a 0.27 percentage point reduction in Peruvian low birth weight risk.
