초록
While maternal and infant mortality are pressing issues in the global society, the pace of decreases in maternal and infant mortality is still very slow. Furthermore, gender equality still persists in a number of countries and a large number of women, mostly in developing countries, are in a precarious state economically, politically, and socially. This article tests two hypotheses: (a) the more women’s economic, political, and social rights are protected, the fewer maternal, neonatal, and postneonatal mortality deaths would occur and (b) rights that are actually implemented or enforced have more significant impact in terms of progress in foregoing mortality indicators than rights that are only declared but not implemented in practice. To test these hypotheses, we conducted a cross-national statistical test with data from multiple sources. We find that women’s economic and social rights has a significant correlation with maternal and infant mortality, while legal rights did not show such an impact. Also, women’s rights that are protected through actual implementation and enforcement have more significant influence on our dependent variables than women’s rights protection under law.
Abstract
While maternal and infant mortality are pressing issues in the global society, the pace of decreases in maternal and infant mortality is still very slow. Furthermore, gender equality still persists in a number of countries and a large number of women, mostly in developing countries, are in a precarious state economically, politically, and socially. This article tests two hypotheses: (a) the more women’s economic, political, and social rights are protected, the fewer maternal, neonatal, and postneonatal mortality deaths would occur and (b) rights that are actually implemented or enforced have more significant impact in terms of progress in foregoing mortality indicators than rights that are only declared but not implemented in practice. To test these hypotheses, we conducted a cross-national statistical test with data from multiple sources. We find that women’s economic and social rights has a significant correlation with maternal and infant mortality, while legal rights did not show such an impact. Also, women’s rights that are protected through actual implementation and enforcement have more significant influence on our dependent variables than women’s rights protection under law.
