Effects of gender, birth order, and other correlates on childhood mortality in China

Article Abstract:

A study based on data from the 1988 Two-Per-Thousand Survey of Fertility and Birth Control in China reveals that female children in the age group of 1 and 5 experience higher mortality rates. Factors like death of older siblings, the gap between two children, the place of residence, mother's age and her level of education also have an influence on mortality among children. The effect of gender and birth order on childhood mortality have also been analyzed.
