  • Title: [The determinants of the decline in infant mortality in Chile, 1975-1982].
    Author: Castaneda T.
    Journal: Cuad Econ; 1985 Aug; 22(66):195-214. PubMed ID: 12267612.
    Abstract:
    Using the example of Chile from 1975 to 1982, the author examines the impact on infant mortality of programs aimed at improving the nutritional and medical status of mothers and children. The framework of the analysis is a production function model with fixed effects on children's health from various inputs. The results suggest that programs focusing on the mother are more effective in reducing infant mortality than those focusing on the child. The key role played by increased availability of potable water and efficient sewerage in urban areas is stressed.
