2- Pregnancy (development of the event)

3- Birth (the event)

4- Growth (after the event)

Insights

How does the family's income level affect the population?

Stage 1 of the model

2011 new maternity leave law

Is there a change in the nutritional pattern of the infants after the nationwide law to increase the maternal leave introduced in 2011?

2011 Maternity leave Law

• 3 Month maternity leave counts only after the 40 weeks from pregnancy
• Preterm mothers were at disadvantage before the law

A Time-series viz proposal

We have shown

• Model for time based problems
• Application for Preterm babies
• Viz for measuring babies' growth
