Geo-Analysis of Demographic Variables Affecting Females Working in Thi-Qar's State Health Sector

Abstract

Demographic variables are essential to population studies as they are necessary to study population-related changes during a given period by uncovering births and deaths in a society. A given population generally grows following births and deaths. Births are key to the movement and development of that population, an upward-moving trend at present. This study is significant in that draws on facts on workers' births, fetal and infant mortalities, as well as the tempo-spatial variation of births and mortalities across Iraq's Thi-Qar. To this end, certain statistical methods have been adopted to investigate these variations. The study reported a noticeable marital fertility in the area under study by about 453.6 births per 1,000 married female health workers, while fetal mortalities for married female health workers amounted to (345.6) per 1,000 married female health workers in Thi-Qar. The study finds that net mortalities amounted to (219.04) deaths per 1,000 live births of married female health workers in Thi-Qar.
