- Description
- Save the Children's fourth annual Mothers' Index compares the well-being of mothers and children in 117 countirs, 43 of which are either currently experiencing conflict or have recently emerged from conflict. The Index uses six indicators measuring the status of women: lifetime risk of maternal mortality, use of modern contraception, birth attended by trained personnel, prevalence of anemia among pregnant women, female literacy, and participation of women in national government: and four indicators covering the well-being of children: infant mortality, nutritional status, primary school enrollment and access to safe water.
