We conducted an ecologic analysis of the relation between women's status and child well-being in the 50 United States. State-level women's status was assessed via four composite indices : women's political participation, economic autonomy, employment and earnings, and reproductive rights. Child well-being was measured via five outcomes : percentage of low birthweight babies, infant mortality, teen mortality, high school dropout rate, and teen birth rate. Higher state-level women's status on all indicators was associated with significantly better state-level child well-being in unadjusted analyses. Several associations remained significant after adjusting for income inequality and state racial composition. Women's political participation was associated with a significantly lower percentage of low birthweight babies (p<. and lower teen birth rates women employment earnings was associated with infant mortality more economic social autonomy for better child outcomes on all measures greater reproductive rights were significantly we conclude that well-being is worse in states where have political status. status an important aspect of children context which may impact their well-being. multi-level analyses the association between state-level are needed.>
