Abstract: Brief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
In this paper, the author examines the relative status of
women in terms of various indicators culled from government statistics, including literacy,
school enrollment, and employment rates, and female child mortality. The author finds an
unequal access to education and employment based on gender. A nine percent excess female
infant mortality rate, prompted the author to carry out his own survey of food distribution
practices in a sample of Shiraz households. He found that men are fed first and larger
portions of the best food. Although this practice is moderated if the mother has an outside
income, is more educated, and has fewer than five children.
