Abstract:
This contribution aims to study the factors that prevent Moroccan’s children under the age of five from enjoying a good state of well-being. These factors relate to various levels: the characteristics of the child and of his/her mother, the characteristics of the household and the communal characteristics. We highlight the relationship between the level of fertility and the well-being of children. Similarly, by using multilevel analysis, we were able to identify the variables that significantly influence the well-being of children under five in Morocco: the environment of residence, the characteristics of the mother (education, age, age at first marriage, marital status, work, number of live births during the last five years); the characteristics of the household (density per room and density per room reserved for sleeping) and the characteristics of the commune (unemployment rate, illiteracy rate, parity of women aged 45 to 50; difference between the age at first marriage of the male and female; difference between the illiteracy rates). Several statistical methods were used to construct the composite indicator of child well-being.
