On the results of last population census the national structure of population ischaracterized by following data: azerbaijanians – 90.6 percents, lezghins – 2.2 percents,russians – 1.8 percents, armenians – 1.5 percents, talishes – 1.0 percents, avars – 0.6percents, turkish – 0.5 percents, tatars – 0.4 percents, ukrainians – 0.4 percents, chakhurs– 0.2 percents, georgians – 0.2 percents, kurds – 0.2 percents, tats- 0.13 percents, jewries– 0.1 percents, udins – 0.05 percents and other nationalities – 0.12 percents.

Specific gravity of free speaking population in national language on whole bycountry was 99.2 percents. Among Azerbaijanians this indicator is 99.8 percents.

On the data of 2000 sample survey of households for 4-th quarter a woman is thehead of family in 26.3 percents of families.

The events, which were begun in 1988 importantly, influenced to demographicsituation in Azerbaijan.

Labor and number of pensions

Azerbaijan Republic refers to the countries with transition economy. However,together with deep social – economic crisis, typical for all these countries, there is alsoburden of specific problems, caused by occupation its territories by Armenia. Accordingto transition period unexpected impoverishment of most part of the population,consequently, community differentiation to contrast strata in social plan, wasaccompanied in Azerbaijan also by arising of other wide (about 15 percents of totalcountry population) socially vulnerable strata – refugees and forced migrants. Moresorrowful result of these collisions is that critical situation, in which today here arewomen and children. Undoubtedly, all of that intensify social tension.

Women in Azerbaijan make the most (51.1percents) part of country population.They are exposed to excesses suffered by all Azerbaijan society, but according to reality,in more strained form. National Legislation –Constitution, Laws provide with the samerights both men and women. However, today women is one of the more vulnerable partsof society in view of insufficient flexibility and total lack of special legal, economic,social mechanisms of protection. In the meantime, it is known that achieved level ofdevelopment of women ability, their status in society is the indicator of progress andcountry development.

That’s why, gender problems are the subject of constant intent study and one ofthe priority directions of national politics.

An important task of Azerbaijan society in modern stage and in aspect is theremoval and softening of negative expenses of transition period and destructive results ofwar.

Experts in the field of women development problems agree in opinion thatprevalent women majority it is typical combination of material and moral motives oflabour activity, which depends on educational level, qualification and theirs family status.

As applied to separate groups of employed women, economical reasons ofparticipation in social production have higher importance. First of all, it refers to lonewomen, widows, divorced and women who had unfavorable family conditions.

Women contribute in development of country economy. Statistical data showsthat 1767.0 thousand women aged 15 and over are economically active, that makes 47.7percents of economically active population of the country. Question studying of womenparticipation in economy showed that informal sector development represents the field,where it is appeared the definite possibilities receiving incomes for women. Informalsector is used by a lot of women for surviving in present economical conditions, allowtheir families to endure hard time regarding to economy. Many women agree toimplement the work of low qualification (in spite of their higher qualification) because ofhigher gratuity. Probably, family interests, conducting of households, care of childrenhave more importance for women than the work in government or official registered informal enterprises.

In accordance with distribution of lands and development of farmer households,women labour of rural locality begins strongly extend. Sources of providing food marketsand exports to the outside are the households, farmer households, agriculture enterprises,in which, in most cases main productive and marketable role are carried out as a rule bywomen, but the export to the outside and realization of products – men.

It has to be noted that women at pension age also participate in trade market onwhole country territory. Theirs share in total number of trading modifies from 3 percents– 11 percents. In informal markets, which are unexpectedly and unpredictably creating in

13

the streets and crowded places mainly it is trading the teenagers – about 80 percents, ofwhich about 10 percents - girls. More of 20 percents are pensions, of which 15 percentsare women.

In the field occupation structure of men and women by type of activity and fieldsof economy it exists certain differences. Main sphere of women activity is the field ofsocial sphere: health care (more than 67 percents from the number occupied in this field),education, culture, science, credit and insurance (more than 45 percents). Men mainlyoccupied in the fields of material production: in industry (about 50 percents) and insphere of administrative posts management and political activity (more than 70percents).

Analyze of social economic situation of society shows that efforts are made bygovernment on equalization of women and men rights in the field of creation ofconditions provided with equal access to work places. However, these efforts don’t yetreach necessary effect that connects, first of all, with existing common social economicproblems in the field of trade labour formation in the country. So, statistical data confirmsthat fact, Azerbaijan Republic is characterized by high economic activity of women andnow, wholly by country it’s gross level less differs from the level of men activity.

Statistics shows that share of women from total number of persons who hasofficial status of unemployment makes 55.9 percents. In Azerbaijan for women’sunemployment it is characteristic its geographical dissimilarity. So, women occupationlevel in industry regions is appreciable higher than in rural. Particularly, unsatisfied stateregarding to women occupation is observed in mountainous regions.

At the beginning of 2001 number of pensions registered in population socialsecurity bodies reached to 1190.3 thousand or 15 percents from total population number.At present in Republic each seventh is a pension.

In comparison with 1990 number of pensions increased for 14 percents. If numberof pensions by age reduced for 1.5 percents, their number on invalidity and on the case offamily head losing immediately increased being accordingly 30 and 54 percents, whichmainly connected with the results of aggression from the side of neighbor government.

On the results of 2000 average value of fixed monthly pensions of republiccitizens was 71984 manat, which was increased for 11 percents in comparison with 1999.Despite of certain growth value of pension today it does not yet satisfy daily needs of thislarge population group. So average value of fixed pensions is 71.6 percents fromcalculated living wage minimum and only 32.5 percents from average monthly nominalwage.

At the beginning of 2001 number of invalids-children aged under 16 years oldwas 26243 persons (at the beginning of 1992 – 13148).

Average value of fixed monthly pension of children invalids under 16 years oldcorresponds with USA 13.9 $. It is paid monthly allowances for children under 3 years asequivalent to USA 1.7 $.

Children lived out of family are protected by the government. So at present 197persons, of which 107 - orphans live in 4 children’s houses. The government also protectsmentally retarded children: 300 children live in 2 specialized boarding schools.

Preventing of economic recession expected growth of industry value, activityrenewing of all new entities actualizes the problem of occupational injury and itsprophylactic. In 2000 number of injured persons temporary lost workability because ofinjures in industry reached 177 persons in comparison with 1990 reduced for 88 percents.Number of women injured in industry with lost of workability was 4 persons or 2.3

percents. Sharp reducing of number of occupational injuries is stipulated not by creationof safety labour conditions but considerable decreasing of industry value and by stoppingof enterprises work.

Every 5-th dead, of which got injury in industry and in 1990- each 9-th.In republic it is implementing definite work with the purpose of creation of

conditions for safe conducting of work. In 2000 for improvement of labour it was spent44793.4 million manat or in calculation per worker- 45675 manat.

On the information of Ministry of Health Care in 2000 number of patients withoccupational diseases and poisoning reduced for 50 percents in comparison with 1999. Inthe report year their number was 402 persons.

Health care

State of public health of population is one of the main criteria of public systemwelfare and the process of management of the country should be directed to improvementof citizens health state.

Azerbaijan has qualified medical staff and wide system of first medical aids anddeveloped net of hospital institutions. At present in Republic it is functioning 735hospitals, 1614 ambulance-polyclinic service organizations, of which 600 are childrenpolyclinics and ambulances and also institutions having children sections, 26 maternityhospitals, 313 female consultations, 1913 medical attendant-obstetric stations.

Number of hospitals, ambulance-polyclinic service organizations, femaleconsultations and children polyclinics, ambulances served medical aid.

However, the financial support of Azerbaijan health care is extremely insufficientbecause of complex conditions of transition to market economy. So, share of means forhealth care in percents from GDP decreased from 2.9 in 1990 to 0.9 in 2000, while inworld experience more acceptable for health care was considered no less than 6-8percents. Because of insufficient financing, part of health care institutions gradually turnsinto paid service of patients, it is forming difference property forms and also conductingthe work on transition to budget-insurance system of financing, developing individual-collective forms of medical assistance.

Variety of factors from impacts of which depends the health state of mother andchild (social-economic, biological, environmental, medical-organizational and others)dictates necessity of solving priority problem of maternity and child protection.

In Azerbaijan it is presented for women 126 calendar days of paid vacation in theperiod of birth before and after and 146 days for women with pathology and rural womenworker. In connection with child birth it is paid one time grant in USA 11.2$ bygovernment.

In fertility age per 10000 women of Republic there are 32 beds for pregnant andchildbirth women and their deficit is estimated as 3.4 thousand, in 1990 accordingly: 39and 2.4 thousand. Per 10000 children aged under 15 years old there are 49 hospital bedsagainst 52 in 1990.

In 2000 it were covered 2100.3 thousand children by prophylactic examination,results of which showed followings: number of children with reduction of hearing andvision acute was 15.9 thousand or 0.8 percents of examined, with speech defects – 0.6thousand or 0.3 percents, with scoliosis –1.6 thousand or 0.1 percents, with defects ofbearing 4.8 thousand or 0.2 percents.

It is tangible the deficiency of physicians- p(a)ediatrists – they are only 17 incalculation per 10000 children; the providing with gynecologists is low – 8 physiciansper 10000 women, which is on the level of 1990.

In 2000 from total number of children under 1 year in breast-feeding was under 3month – 38.5 thousand, under 6 month – 33.4, under 12 month – 24.7 thousand children.

Recently researches in the sphere of health proved the high importance of breastmilk and breast-feeding. All necessary substances required for the feeding of infants arecontained in the breast milk and needs requirements of the body or infant water, even inwarm and dry climate. Breast-feeding helps to development of closeness between motherand child a positive influence on behavior and formation of intellect of the child andprotects the mother.

In accordance with the recommendations of international health organization andUNICEF encouragement for breast-feeding is one of the main duties of birth assistanceservices. Their full mobilization for solution of this problem serves to strengthening ofinfants and mothers’ biological and emotional health, physical development and growthof infants’ diaharea prevention and acute respirator diseases, which are one of the mainreasons of infant mortality.

Active work on this direction has been held in Baku city.In order to analyze this situation in this field more deeply the State Statistical

Committee of Azerbaijan conducted a survey in on breast-feeding of infants Baku Cityon December 2000 covering 467 women, who had given a birth.

7 percents covered by survey were at the age of 15-18 years; 42 percents –19-24;43 percents –25-37; 7 percents - 35-39 and 5 percents at the age 40-49.

By the result of the survey, almost the majority of the respondents are aware ofthe positive influence breast-feeding by mother and 88 percents of interviewed mothersare going to feed their children for six month.

As a main reason for not having a possibility for a breast-feeding of infants for sixmonth 27 percents of women indicated health, 49 percents- lack of milk, 22 percents-absence of milk.

Majority of the respondents from this category gave a preference to mixedfeeding, 44 percents – artificial feeding, 4 percents found the question difficult to answer.

One of the main conditions providing secretion of milk is the close relationbetween infant and mother after birth and feeding of infants from breast. 83 percents ofrespondents indicated that they feeding their infants during the first half - hour after thebirth, 89 percents – upon the will of the child, 8 percents - during the certain hours.

87 percents of pregnant women stayed in the same ward with their childrenwithout interruptions and this shows step by step increase of the practice of location ofthe mother and infant. In the same place, 13 percents of infants of those interviewedstayed in the ward for infants.

95 percents of mothers indicated the usage of nipples in the result of suckingcapability of infants and decrease of lactation as unhealthy.

For successful beginning and continuation of the breast-feeding it is important toprovide mothers with useful consultancy during the prenatal and after the natal periods.94 percents of respondents indicated that they had received consultancy on beginning andcontinuation of breast-feeding and only 6 percents found the question difficult.

75 percents of mothers who had no possibility to have their children breast-feeding indicated that they had received advises on correct preparation and consumptionof breast-feed substitutes, remaining 25 percents indicated that they had not receivedconsultations.

78 percents respondents indicated that they were well fed during the pregnancy,however, the survey showed that many pregnant women during their pregnancy notedthat they suffered from different diseases and low quality of food ration. So, 60 percentsof respondents were sick with anemia, 6 percents – diseases of lungs, 3 percents- goitre, 2percents – heart vascular, 0.2 percents- diabet. Majority of those diseased with anemia 63percents is women at the age of 35-39 years. Lung diseases made 7 percents amongwomen at the age of 19-24 and 35-39 years.

54 percents of respondents who went through medical genetic survey duringpregnancy, 86 percents were tested for anemia and this certifies the increasing of interestfor health of mother and coming generations. 45 percents of women who were not testedfor anemia indicated that they did not go to women consultancy offices, 43 percentsindicated financial difficulties as a reason and 12 percents considers themselves healthy.79 percents of those who suffered from anemia received a treatment, 21 percents wereleft without treatment, 64 percent of them noted financial difficulties as reason for nothaving a medical treatment, 36 percents indicated a negligent attitude to their own health.

29 percents of respondents indicated provision of conditions for location of amother and infant in the same place for strengthening the application of breast-feeding,

16 percents indicated the lack of needed level of knowledge of medical sanitary personalin this sphere and more than half of these respondents found this question difficult toanswer.

Existing society stratification, share increasing of not sufficiently provided groupsof population negatively influences to structure and level of consumption. Non-qualitative, low-calorie, ecologically unclean food, stresses, not always availability ofhealth care services are the reasons of increasing diseases number and treat of sanitary-epidemiological welfare of population is strengthening.

In the meantime opportunely received measures on preventing of expansion ofinfectious diseases are able to bring positive results, not admit to wide ranging expansionof infectious.

On conducting of necessary activities in 2000 against to 1990 it was reached thereduction of infectious, controlled by means of specific prophylactics (vaccinations), inparticularly, whooping cough, poliomyelitis, measles and etc.

There is a question of epidemic paratyphoidprophylaxis. 5834 children on the result of 2000 were ill with epidemic paratyphoid thatwas 13 times more than in 1990.

In 2000 every fourth children under 15 years old had different diseases. In thenumber of children diseases it is regularly prevailed respiratory system diseases,infectious and parasitic diseases, nervous system diseases and organs of feeling, digestivesystem diseases and also injuries and poisoning. In compare with 1990 in calculation per1000 children diseases of blood and hematogenic organs raised from 4 to 6 persons anddiseases of urogenital system – from 3 to 4 persons.

Growth of active tuberculoses diseases is explained by inopportune andincomplete revelation of sick person, especially among refugees and forced migrants. It isalso increasing the risk of catching of this disease through of population cover reducingwith prophylactic surveys. Morbidity level of tuberculoses in 2000 in compare with 1990increased for 2 times, but in compare with 1999 – for 11 percents. 95 percents of 1324women with active tuberculoses suffer from respiratory system tuberculoses.

On the result of simultaneous sample survey conducted by RepublicEndocrinology Dispensary 33 regions (i.e. more than half part) in Azerbaijan are endemicon goitre, which connected with negative nature conditions (deficit of iodinemicroelement in the ground, food products, water and air), and also insufficiently fullfoods and significant pollution of environment.

In such regions as Zagatala, Shaki, Gakh and Ordubad more than 90% pupilssuffer from endemic goitre, of which 26-54 percents - by 2-nd and 3-rd stages.

These researches showed that frequency of iodine deficit disorder on the level ofiodine and ultrasonic diagnostics of thyroid gland of pupils is about 71-96 percents inBaku and Sumgayit which are not natural sources of iodine insufficiency.

Rate of infant morbidity and mortality in the first year of life, especially in thefirst week mainly depends on mother health state. If in 1990 each 15-th childbirth womensuffered with anemia, in 2000 – each sixth. On observed period number of women withflood increased for 1,3 times.

On analyzed period it is noted reducing of childbirth with low weight (under 2500grams) for 43 percents, however their level is yet high. In 2000 it were born about 6thousand children with low weight that in total number of birth makes 6.6 percents.Number of birth with low weight of women aged 20-29 years in compare with 1999increased for 5.8 percents.

Insufficiently developed material-technical base of health care has the negativerole in the infant death dynamic. Nine thousand children were born sick or subsequentlyobtained different defections in health state.
