Poverty Reduction: Does Reproductive Health Matter?” attempts “to clarify reproductive health with a broader development objective”. The World Bank's Thomas Merrick states, “Causality between reproductive health and poverty reduction is very difficult to demonstrate”. |

Description:
|
Merrick sought to find out “what we know, what we don’t know, and what we think we know but we don’t” about the relationship between reproductive health and poverty. Their study analyzes how three reproductive health outcomes—rates of early childbearing, maternal survival, and unintended pregnancy—affect poverty.
Using existing evidence, Merrick, with co-author Margaret Greene, tried to identify a causal relationship between reproductive health and poverty, in hopes of mobilizing resources “through the new poverty-reduction, Millenium Development Goals focused mechanisms that donors and governments are embracing”. |
