Furthermore, logistic regression shows that family poverty has a negative and significant effect on the children’s utilization of healthcare for outpatient in Indonesia (OR=0,79). While maternal education and employment status have a significant and positive effect. This result showed that there are necessary to provide ease access to healthcare for the children in a poor household and to improve maternal empowerment to be able to increase the utilization of healthcare especially outpatient care for children.
