Stunting is a well-established child health indicator for chronic malnutrition related tornenvironmental and socio-economic circumstances (WHO, 1995 and 1996). According to thern2011 EDHS report by the Ethiopia CSA, nationally, 44 percent of children under age five arernstunted, and 21 percent of children are severely stunted. This study aimed to identify socioeconomicrnand demographic determinants of under-five child stunting in rural Ethiopia usingrnEDHS 2011 data. In order to achieve our objective descriptive, cross-tabulation, binary logisticrnregression and multilevel logistic regression statistical techniques were used for data analysisrnusing socio-economic, demographic and health and environmental variables as explanatoryrnvariables, and status of stunting as the response variable. The results of the analysis show thatrnage of child, motherâ€™s educational level, wealth index, employment status of mother, source ofrndrinking water, types of toilet facilities, had diarrhea two weeks before the survey, had fever twornweeks before the survey, educational level of partner and geographical region were found to bernsignificant determinants of stunting status of under-five children in rural Ethiopia. The resultrnalso suggested that children from poor families were more likely to be stunted than children fromrnrich families in rural Ethiopia. It is found that children from uneducated mothers are at higherrnrisk of stunting. It is recommended that design and implement primary health care and nutritionrnprograms which would fit the features of each region to safeguard children from nutritionalrndeficiency
