Explanation of Mortality Rates with Socio-Economic Indicators

Abstract

This study aims to examine the relationship between death rates and socioeconomic variables and to develop policy recommendations to reduce mortality rates. Therefore, the variables of maternal mortality rate, crude mortality rate, and infant mortality rate are explained with real health expenditures per capita, number of nurse midwives, total health expenditures, number of physicians, and number of hospitals. The most recent data available between 2002 and 2019 are used in the article. Data are taken from health statistics annually. While three different mortality rates are considered as dependent variables in the study, five different variables indicating socioeconomic status are used as independent variables. Since more than one dependent and independent variable is used, canonical correlation analysis is preferred as the method. In the results of the analysis, it has been revealed that there is a high relationship between maternal mortality rate, infant mortality rate, crude death rate, and the number of hospitals, the number of nurses-midwives, the number of physicians, total health expenditures and per capita health expenditures. According to this, it is important to increase health awareness, increase the quality of health services in society, and facilitate access to health services. In addition, it is recommended to increase the number of health workers, improve health literacy in society and increase investments in the field of health.
