Does
poor reproductive health prevent women from escaping poverty? Co-authors Margaret Greene of ICRW and Thomas Merrick of the World
Bank found
that poor reproductive health outcomes – early childbearing, maternal
mortality/morbidity, and unintended/mistimed pregnancy – do have negative
effects on overall health, and under certain circumstances, on education and
household well-being. Their findings, published in a new Woodrow Wilson
Center publication, help make the case that improving women’s reproductive
health is an important factor to alleviating poverty.
