Povzetek


V raziskavi je bilo preučevano, kako je enakopravnost žensk v gospodinjstvih povezana z izbolšanjem dobrobiti otrok, v državi Ogun, Nigerija. Z regresijskim logit modelom so bili obdelani podatki iz 320 kmečkih gospodinjstev. Raziskava je odkrila, da je bilo 31,86 % otrok , v starosti pod pet let, zaostalih v razvoju, 32 % jih je imelo premajhno maso in 16,2 % jih je bilo podhranjenih in bolnih. Otrok, ki so doraščali zdravo je bilo 62 %, kar kaže na to, da so trije od petih otrok še vedno podhranjeni. Okrog 3,33 % in 1,05 % otrok se hkrati sooča z zaostankom v razvoju in podhranjenostjo, kar kaže na zelo nevzpodbudno okolje za razvoj otrok. Dodatno ima na preučevanem območju 63,33 % žena majhno enakopravnost, kar kaže na pomankljivost njihovega odločanja o pomembnih zadevah v gospodinjstvih. Žene, ki imajo večjo moč odločanja v gospodinjstvih, še posebej tiste z večjo kupno močjo, imajo otroke, ki so višji glede na njihovo starost, močnejši in z večjim razmerjem med maso in višino. Ženska neenakopravnost je povezana z njihovo neenakopravnostjo v gospodinjstvu, kar vpliva negativno na dobrobit otrok in vodi h kronični podhranjenosti. Priporočilo bi torej bilo, da je pomembno izboljšati položaj žena, kar bi s časom vodilo v več vlaganja v izobraževanje njihovih otrok, njihovega zdravja in v splošno izboljšanje stanja.
