Between-country and region analyses. After obtaining disaggregated estimates for each country, coefficients for the employment-EBF, employment-MDD, and employment-MMF associations were entered into a random effects meta-analysis to obtain odds ratios pooled across all countries and by world region (East Asia and Pacific, Europe and Central Asia, Latin American and Caribbean, Middle East and North Africa, South Asia, and sub-Saharan Africa). Random effects meta-analysis, used to generate pooled odds ratios (POR), is the statistical combination of the estimates from separate countries and assumes that the associations between employment and IYCF may differ by country and/or region.
