Data & Methods

In this chapter, I unfold the data and methods I used for my empirical analysis of how different parameters drive the decision to exclusively breastfeed a newborn in Mexico. As outlined in the case study chapter, Mexico is thereby an exemplary case for Latin America. Not only does the geographic location as well as the economic developments form a pioneering role for Iberoamerica, but also the cultural and socio-economic development of the country is highly relevant for the region and can therefore provide fruitful insights for identifying challenges and barriers to the decision to exclusively breastfeed in a country of the Global South.
