Thông tin chi tiết

Tóm tắt :

This publication summarizes the findings from studies of women’s health status conducted in 11 pilot countries and one pilot city in central and eastern Europe. By presenting and comparing country-specific data, the report aims to show how recent dramatic changes in these countries have influenced women’s health, to identify the most important gender-specific problems and thus to provide the basis for the development of policies that address the needs of women. It represents the first overview and comparative analysis of women’s health in countries of central and eastern Europe and the newly independent states of the former USSR. The report has five main sections. Baseline information is provided in the first, which presents statistical data on health conditions in central and eastern Europe and compares them with data from other European countries. The second section explores the impact on women of the economic crisis, the limited availability of food and other essential services, the erosion of maternity and child care benefits, and the double burdens of paid employment and household work. The third section considers how the conditions faced in the daily lives of women are shaped by cultural and structural opportunities. An extremely high rate of maternal mortality points to inadequate family planning services and the absence of personal control over reproductive health. The remaining sections explore the impact of dangerous and deteriorating environments, including work conditions in jobs where women are concentrated, and review the status of health services for women. xvi, 44 p.
