Effect of skilled and unskilled health workers availability on neonatal mortality in poor and rich areas.

Sources: Author’s calculation using the output from Table 2. Note: Skilled health workers refers to physicians & nurse professional and unskilled health workers to nurse associate & community health workers. Poor refers to minimum comparable areas (MCA) with more than 50% of population below the poverty line, and non-poor otherwise. The explained reduction by skilled health workers for poor and non-poor areas is the sum of the marginal effects estimated in Table 3 for physicians and nurse professionals. Similarly, the explained reduction by unskilled health workers is the sum of the marginal effects for nurse associate and community health worker.
