What is the Role of Greater Gender Equity in Improving Health and Education in Developing Countries?

Abstract

Nowadays, since health and education are essential to both individual happiness & countries' growth and at the same time, gender equity is not only a fundamental human right but also an essential part of realizing human potential, promoting sustainable development, and achieving peaceful societies, this paper is about the role of more significant gender equity in improving health and education in developing countries. Data is collected from Global Gender Gap Report and the World Bank dataset website in a period of 14 years until 2020. We choose 2 of 4 dimensions from the Global Gender Gap Index to become the new index as the X variable and two indicators literacy rate, adult total(%of people ages 15 and above) and mortality rate, infant(per 1000 lives birth)as the Y variable. We expect to have correlations between X and Y indicators by making a regression. The findings are aimed at raising the awareness of improving gender equity.
