  • Decomposing socioeconomic and educational inequalities in infant mortality in Sub-Saharan Africa

    Open AccessRahel Mulatie Anteneh, Zekaryas Ewnetu Gashu et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2025

    Our analysis reveals that wealth-related disparities in infant mortality disproportionately impact poorer populations in Sub-Saharan Africa, with children of mothers who possess lower socioeconomic status and less education facing higher risks. Factors contributing to these disparities include family size, media exposure, and birth order. The persistence of social injustice is largely due to the inadequate response to these health inequalities. P…
