The aim of this study is to compare OECD member countries according to UNICEF child welfare health indicators. 38 member countries were included in the study. Indicators in the UNICEF Child Welfare Document of the countries examined were used as comparison variables. The variables of the countries were analyzed with the MOORA-Ratio Method using the last year data available. Although it is accepted that all variables are important in child welfare, breastfeeding rates were effective in determining the ranking in this study. Czechia, Chile, Slovakia and Hungary are in the first place in terms of exclusive breastfeeding in the first six months. Among these countries, the lowest rate of exclusive breastfeeding in the first six months is 43.6%, while the rate of breastfeeding in the first six months of Lithuania is 39.8%. In this study, in which OECD countries were compared within the framework of UNICEF Child Welfare health indicators, a different ranking was obtained from the general health status surveys conducted on OECD countries, contrary to expectations. In the mentioned studies, while the countries with high-income rank in the first place, in this study, Czechia, Slovakia, and Hungary took the first place.

Bu çalışmanın amacı Ekonomik İşbirliği ve Kalkınma Örgütü (OECD) üye ülkelerinin UNICEF çocuk refahı sağlık göstergelerine göre karşılaştırılmasıdır. OECD’ye üye olan 38 ülke araştırmaya dahil edilmiştir. Araştırmada incelenen ülkelere ait UNICEF Çocuk Refahı Belgesinde yer alan “Bebek ölüm oranı, düşük doğum ağırlığı oranı, emzirme oranı (ilk 6 ay sadece anne sütü), aşılama oranı (difteri, tetanoz, boğmaca-kızamık), fiziksel aktivite (okul dışında fiziksel aktivite yapmama, okul dışında yoğun fiziksel aktivite oranı), 15-24 yaş arası intihar oranı” OECD göstergeleri değişkenleri kullanılmıştır. İncelenen ülkelere ait değişkenlerin ulaşılabilen son yıl verileri kullanılarak MOORA-Oran Yöntemi ile analiz edilmiştir. Tüm değişkenlerin çocuk refahında önem arz etmesi kabul edilmekle birlikte bu çalışmada sıralamanın ilk sıralarının belirlenmesinde emzirme oranları etkili olmuştur. Çekya, Şili, Slovakya ve Macaristan ilk altı ay sadece anne sütüyle beslenme oranlarında ilk sıralarda yer almaktadır. Bu ülkelerden ilk altı ay sadece anne sütüyle emzirme oranı en düşük olan %43,6 iken bu oranı en yakın takip eden Litvanya’nın ilk altı ay anne sütüyle emzirme oranı %39,8’dir. İlk altı ay sadece anne sütüyle beslenme oranlarında ilk sıralarda yer alan bu ülkeler genel sıralamada da ilk sıralarda yer almaktadır. UNICEF Çocuk Refahı sağlık göstergeleri çerçevesinde OECD ülkelerinin karşılaştırıldığı bu çalışmada beklenenin aksine OECD ülkeleri üzerinde gerçekleştirilen genel sağlık durumu araştırmaları sıralamalarından farklı bir sıralama elde edilmiştir. Bahsedilen çalışmalarda gelir seviyesi yüksek olan ülkeler ilk sıralarda yer alırken bu çalışmada Çekya, Slovakya ve Macaristan ilk sıralarda yer almıştır.
