Effects of demographic characteristics on Infant and Child Mortality: A Case Study of Rajshahi District, Bangladesh

(Journal of Population, 11 (2) 2005 : 161-175, 2005)

The study attempted to identify important ejects of

demographic characteristics on infant and child mortality. The data

for the study was collected in 2004 under the project of the UNFPA

entitled "Strengthening the Department of Population Science and

Human Resource Development" of Rajshahi University,

Bangladesh. Application of logistic regression model suggests that

demographic factors are associated with the chance of cliild

survival. Breastfeeding and immunization practice of children has

highly significant effects on infant and child mortality among all the

included demographic variables. The results show that the risk of

infant and child mortality was higher for children whose mother

never breastfed than for children who were breastfed. The analysis

results also show that the children who got full immunizations had

lower risks of infant and child mortality than those who were not

immunized at all. Similarly, risk of infant and child mortality

gradually declined as both mother ?s age at marriage and mother 's

age at birth increased
