Child malnutrition in Ecuador is a social problem.

The objective of this research is to examine the evolution of child malnutrition in Esmeraldas, its peculiarities, progress and challenges. The methodology is quantitative, using data from the Living Conditions Surveys 1999-2006-2014, and makes estimates with regression analysis. Among the main results is that stunting and childhood overweight have different determinants, associated with social and personal factors.
