What is the Status of Women and Child in Developing Countries?, (Paperback)

Development entails security regarding the fulfilment of its three core values, viz. sustenance, self-esteem, and freedom of choice. In the developing world, the adversities concerning human development have women's and children's faces predominantly. Hence, the prime aims of the book were first, to probe the status (quantitative, qualitative) of women empowerment and child health in developing economies and investigate the role of women empowerment in child health for the developing world. Data-wise, the study is confined to the micro-data from Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) datasets of 33 developing economies from the regions of South & Southeast Asia, Central Asia, West Asia, Latin America & Caribbean, and Sub-Saharan Africa.
