Childhood mortality differentials in Zimbabwe: evidence from two surveys

T Jhamba. Genus. 1996 Jul-Dec.

Abstract

"This paper examines the factors associated with infant mortality differentials in Zimbabwe, using data from two surveys, the 1984 ZRHS and 1988 ZDHS. An index of infant mortality based on the ratio of observed to expected deaths was used [in] the multivariate analysis as a measure of infant mortality for each woman. Infant mortality was highest among women who were illiterate, lived on commercial farms, first married before the age of 15, never used modern contraceptives or were given no prenatal care. Moreover, several significant differences among regions are highlighted." (SUMMARY IN ITA AND FRE)
