Female Supported Households in Sub-Saharan Africa: A life course perspective

Single motherhood in sub-Saharan Africa has received surprisingly little attention, although it is widespread and has critical implications for children’s well-being. Using survival analysis techniques, we estimate the probability of becoming a single mother over women’s life course and investigate the relationship between single motherhood and child mortality in 11 countries in sub-Saharan Africa. Although a mere 5 % of women in Ethiopia have a premarital birth, one in three women in Liberia will become m…

Překlad textu Jaggar, Alison M.: „Zachraňte Aminu“: Globální spravedlnost pro ženy a interkulturní dialog

Překlad textu Jaggar, Alison M.: „Zachraňte Aminu“: Globální spravedlnost pro ženy a interkulturní dialog

Western moral and political theorists have recently devoted considerable attention to the perceived victimisation of women by non-western cultures.
