Pathways of Economic Inequalities in Maternal and Child Health in Urban India: A Decomposition Analysis
Published By: PLoS ONE | Published Date: March, 29 , 2013Children and women comprise vulnerable populations in terms of health and are gravely affected by the impact of economic inequalities through multi-dimensional channels. Urban areas are believed to have better socioeconomic and maternal and child health indicators than rural areas.
