目的：在社会和政治发展方面，许多发展中国家妇女人权的发展程度不如发达国家。我们研究了妇女地位与人类发展和孕产妇死亡率之间的关系。我们对148个国家的样本进行了多项式回归分析，调查了与性别相关的预测因素（包括教育、政治活动、经济状况和健康）以及人类发展预测因素（如婴儿死亡率和人类发展指数）的影响。使用2003年联合国人类发展报告的数据。结果：人类发展指数和性别发展指数是孕产妇和婴儿死亡率的有力预测因素。女性识字率和合并入学率的教育programmes是温和的预测产妇mortality rates.Conclusion：战略投资，以提高生活质量，通过女性教育将有最大的影响孕产妇死亡率降低。
Objective: In terms of social and political development, women's human rights have not evolved in many developing countries to the same extent as they have in the developed world. We examined the relationship between women's status and human development and maternal mortality.Methods: Using polynomial regression analysis with a sample of 148 countries, we investigated the impact of gender-related predictors, including education, political activity, economic status, and health, and human development predictors, such as infant mortality and Human Development Index, using data from the United Nations Human Development Report 2003.Results: The Human Development Index and Gender Development Index are powerful predictors of both maternal and infant mortality rates. Female literacy rate and combined enrolment in educational programs are moderate predictors of maternal mortality rates.Conclusion: Strategic investment to improve quality of life through female education will have the greatest impact on maternal mortality reduction.
