This article addresses SDGs 3, 4, and 10 by quantifying the transgenerational importance of education for child survival, showing that lower maternal and paternal education are both risk factors for infant and child mortality. This comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis of data on 3,112,474 livebirths, from 92 countries, shows a strong association between increased parental education and lower childhood mortality (up to age 5 years). These findings provide a strong rationale to further promote efforts to provide universal quality education at all levels, tackle socioeconomic inequalities in health, and improve the health of future generations.
