This indicator provides the specific social groups that are entitled to access maternity care services by legislative texts. The indicator establishes an independent category due to the specificity of the services which cannot be emcompassed in the mentioned categories of the ILO Convention.
Coding rules
The variable is coded separately from the subsections provided in the Art.13 of the Medical Care and Sickness Benefits Convention (1969) of the International Labor Organization –ILO–, since the service maternity care cannot be encompassed within the mentioned categories. Therefore, this indicator is defined as maternity care and includes the code with the same title.
The code maternity care (306) refers to medical services related to maternity and childbirth provided by physicians and/or other medical practitioners (nurses, midwives).
Note: Maternity care refers to benefits in-kind, i.e. medical services related to birth or health care to new-born. We do not collect data on maternity leave and cash benefits related to maternity.
Maternity care is distinct to reproductive care, which involves fertilization, family planning, birth control or abortion.
