For each point of GDP in a country falling 7.4 children die per 1,000 births, compared to 1.5 males. This is the conclusion reached by a study of the NGO Plan International along with the UK Overseas Institute. The report analyzes how the economic crisis affects women and children and concluded that infants are the major affected. The research was conducted in 59 countries, most of them in developing countries.
The reasons have to VERCON the wave of cuts in social spending worldwide that hinder access to basic health services. But also cultural aspects that exacerbate gender differences decrease as economic resources. "Families are more concerned about the child because it is he who will bring economic benefit in the future and, therefore, they forget to take some care to their daughters," says Nicola Jones, author of the report notes that in many cases is not conscious and is a passive negligence.
These oversights are more common during the first month after birth, when there are more risks for babies. "There is evidence that poor housewives to vaccinate girls less than boys. Many of these deaths are related to lack of vaccination."
Malnutrition is another vital factor contributing to the large difference in mortality. "Women stop breastfeeding before and precedence to men than to girls. Breastfeeding is basic to prevent infection and provide good nutrition to infants," says Jones. And this culture back into play. "In countries like India, mothers have to feed the children of their relatives and neighbors and last to leave his daughters," said Concha Lopez, General Director of Plan International in Spain. According to the report. poor nutrition contributes more than a third to death of children under five worldwide. The situation becomes more serious as food prices increase and women can not afford them.
Life expectancy for girls is also lower. The report notes that in times of economic downturn this fall in seven years, while the children do in six. However, increases in two years for both sexes during the period of economic growth.
"The girls are the latest in the chain," says Lopez, who thinks that these results are a reversal of the improvements made to reduce child mortality. "For every year of improvement are lost five," conluye.
