The Impact of Social and Economic Indicators on Maternal and Child Health
Assessing Cultural Assimilation of Mexican Americans
Objective. This study assesses the pace of cultural assimilation of Mexican Americans by comparing changes in their gender-role attitudes over generations to the European-origin U.S. mainstream. Methods. Using cumulative data from the 1972–2004 General Social Survey, we examine the rate at which progressive generations of Mexican Americans approach the mainstream gender-role attitudes. We also employ a set of logistic regressions to assess the di…
Testing the impact of gender equality on reproductive health
This paper proposes a conceptual framework to explore the impact of gender equality on women's reproductive health with economic and political development as background factors. The data for the study are obtained from 136 developing countries. Structural equation analysis is used to test the hypotheses. The proposed model of women's reproductive health is basically supported by the empirical findings from the developing countries. First, the fin…
Reproductive Health in the Context of Economic and Democratic Development
This paper proposes a model of women's reproductive health in the context of economic and democratic development. Gender equality and reproductive rights were used as intervening factors. The analysis was done in three stages. First, a comparison of the mean values of the variables was conducted. Second, the parameters of the measurement model were assessed, in particular the reliability of the variables and the factor loadings on the constructs.…
Social and cultural determinants of attitudes toward abortion
This study attempts to test Reiss' hypotheses of the effects of social and cultural variables on abortion attitudes using NORC General Social Survey data 1972–1998. The analysis was done in three steps. First, changes in public opinions on abortion were examined. Second, regression analysis was used to assess the effects of social-cultural variables. Third, we used path analysis to determine the direct and indirect effects of the social-cultural …
Women's Reproductive Health
In general, two broad schemes of analysis have been used recently in the social sciences literature to examine reproductive health. The first type identifies a number of social-structural characteristics associated with reproductive health. The second, the reproductive rights explanation, is of recent origin and advocated by a number of scholars from the public health field. Using data from 125 developing countries, this study tests the two expla…
Measurement of Women's Reproductive Health and Reproductive Rights
Women’s reproductive rights and social equality in developing countries
The paper presents a cross-national analysis of the relationship between levels of reproductive rights and social equality in developing countries. One hundred and one developing countries identified by the World Bank are used. We find that high levels of social equality are associated with high levels of marital rights. However, the relationship between levels of social equality and legal abortion right is weak and insignificant. The interrelati…
