Abstract

Namen članka je proučiti vpliv položaja žensk v družbi na življenjsko pričakovanje ob rojstvu. Na podlagi podatkov o nekaterih socio-ekonomskih spremenljivkah za 187 držav sveta, ki jih zbirajo Združeni Narodi v okviru Programa Združenih Narodov za Razvoj - Poročilo o razvoju prebivalstva, smo razvili regresijski model dejavnikov življenjskega pričakovanja. Skozi empirično testiranje treh hipotez, ki se nanašajo na različne vidike položaja žensk v družbi, smo ugotovili, da ima količnik med zaposlenimi ženskami in moškimi statistično značilni negativni vpliv na življenjsko pričakovanje ob rojstvu, kar je vsaj na prvi pogled nepričakovano. Istočasno pa ima število najstniških nosečnosti na 100 žensk starih od 15-19 let, kakor tudi neenakost med spoloma statistično značilni negativni vpliv na življenjsko pričakovanje ob rojstvu.

Secondary abstract:	The purpose of this paper is to investigate the influence of the status of women in society over life expectancy at birth. Based on the data of some of the socio-economic variables for 187 countries worldwide, collected by the United Nations within United Nations Development Programme - Human Development Report, we developed a regression model of life expectancy factors. Through empirical testing of the three hypotheses which refer to different aspects of the status of women in society, we found that the employment ratio between women and men has a statistically significant negative impact on life expectancy at birth, which is, at least at first glance, unexpected. At the same time, the number of teenage births per 100 women aged 15%19 as well as gender inequality has a statistically significant negative impact on life expectancy at birth.
