Maternal Mortality and Female Literacy Rates in Developing Countries during 1970–2000: A Latent Growth Curve Analysis

<table>Growth model of female literacy rates in developing countries. imp80flit = female literacy rate in 1970–1980. imp90flit = female literacy rate in 1980–1990. imp00flit = female literacy rate in 1990–2000. ICEPT = initial levels − female literacy. SLOPE = rate of change in female literacy.</table>
