This paper analyses the trends and regional variations in the target achievement of MDG 5 of improving maternal health in Bangladesh. Based on the analysis of secondary data a comparison is made between the rate of progress required for each indicator of the goal to achieve its target by 2015 from 2000, the current rate of progress (between 2000 and 2011) and the rate of progress required between 2011 and 2015 to achieve the targets. The findings suggest a substantial difference among the regions with respect to the adopted indicators of improving maternal health. For example, consistent with the highest and lowest levels of maternal mortality ratio (MMR), the divisions (administrative regions) of Khulna and Sylhet respectively also have the highest and lowest percentages of births delivered in health facilities and assisted by skilled health personnel. However, the second highest percentage of births delivered in a health facility in Chittagong does not accord with its high MMR. This kind of variation reveals that overall improvement in MMR may not necessarily result in complete achievement of the goal of improved maternal health. Rather, there are some gaps and challenges in each region, which need to be addressed and acted upon accordingly. The findings of this paper contribute to knowledge about the persistence of regional inequalities in MDG 5 in Bangladesh, even if the goals are met at the national level. The findings will also be useful in preparing a road map for ensuring the health and wellbeing of all mothers in Bangladesh under the new Sustainable Development Goals. 相似文献

In this paper two tests for testing the hypothesis that the stochastic endogenous regressors in a structural equation, embedded in a system of simultaneous structural equations, are independent of the disturbances in that equation are presented. 相似文献

The length of working life of Indonesian males has been estimated for 1980 and 1995. Data on age specific labour force participation
rates are obtained from the 1980 census and the 1995 intercensal population survey. Data on agespecific mortality have been
adopted from appropriate model life tables based on indirect estimates of child mortality in the absence of any direct information
about mortality. The contribution of declining mortality to the lengthening of working life has been greater than the contribution
of higher labour force participation rates. Reductions in mortality at ages before entry into the labour force have increased
the potential for added and improved education and training needed for the work force, which is also a contribution of reduced
mortality to human capital development. The findings have implications for policy and future employment plans. 相似文献
