Relationship between survival status of first child and subsequent child death
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 31 July 2008
Summary
This paper examines the association between infant mortality of the first born and subsequent children using data from rural Bangladesh collected during the period 1971–82. It shows that birth spacing and age of mother at the time of the second birth are important predictors of the survival status of the first child. The findings are discussed in terms of policy implications.
