Pengaruh kualitas hidup perempuan terhadap derajat kesehatan masyarakat Jawa Barat

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of women's quality of life on the dynamics of life expectancy in West Java Province. Women's quality of life plays an essential role in accelerating the achievement of various targets of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Women's quality of life in this study is measured by women's average length of schooling, women's adjusted per capita expenditure, as well as the proportion of woman who works as professionals, managers, administration and technicians. This study finds that these three variables significantly influence life expectancy. The coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.646 shows that all three independent variables simultaneously affect the dependent variable. It means that about 64.6% of life expectancy factors can be explained by women mean years schooling, adjusted women per capita expenditure, and the proportion of woman as professional, managerial, administrative and technical workers. The remainder is explained by other variables. Thus, it is necessary to promote the improvement of women's quality of life, particularly in terms of education and economic aspects to provide space and access for women to increase the population's life expectancy
