Right to reproductive health (birth weight)

All HRMI measures of economic and social rights have been produced using official statistics collected by national governments and harmonised by international organisations. For each indicator, our methodology compares the observed level of enjoyment of that dimension of human rights to the benchmark level. In the case of the income adjusted benchmark, the country’s enjoyment level is compared to the enjoyment level that other countries have shown can be achieved at that per-capita income level. This means that HRMI’s income adjusted economic and social rights metrics can show how well a government is using its available resources to ensure that people enjoy these rights to the maximum extent possible. In the case of the global best benchmark, the country’s enjoyment level is compared to the highest enjoyment level of countries at any per capita income level.
