According to some existing research papers, there is a correlation between Socioeconomic status (SES) and maternal and child health. Maternal health indicates a woman's health status during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postnatal period. It is a crucial time for babies as that time helps promote the health and development of their children.

According to some research, it suggests that there is a relationship between maternal health, and child health outcomes. For example, children from families with lower income and mothers with lower education levels tend to have worse health on average than those with greater socioeconomic advantage. Additionally, the combination of low SES and poor maternal health can pose higher risks for child health problems. As a result, poor maternal and child health can result in increased healthcare expenditures, reduced economic productivity, and decreased human capital development.
