Answer 1

Children living in low-income families or neighbourhoods have worse health outcomes on average than other children on a number of key indicators, including infant mortality, low birth weight, asthma, overweight and obesity, injuries, mental health problems and lack of readiness to learn.

If the parents themselves are uneducated, then they may not know the importance of education and nutrition.
