    Author: Kristanto B.
    Journal: Majalah Demografi Indones; 1983 Jun; 10(19):i-19-32. PubMed ID: 12266479.
    Abstract:
    A review of the literature on the socioeconomic factors affecting infant and child mortality is presented, with special reference to Indonesia. Four main factors are identified: parents' education, parents' occupation, urban-rural residence, and housing conditions. The author suggests that, in fact, problems related to health and sanitation are the main causes of infant and child mortality. Also important are problems related to poverty, income, and income distribution. It is suggested that the solution is to be found in general socioeconomic development.
