  • Socioeconomic, demographic and environmental determinants of infant mortality in Nepal

    Open AccessBhakta B Gubhaju, Bhakta Gubhaju et al.ARTICLEJournal of Biosocial Science1991

    The Nepal Fertility and Family Planning Survey of 1986 demonstrated that demographic variables, previous birth interval and survival of preceding child, still predominated as determinants of infant mortality, particularly in rural areas of Nepal. However, in urban Nepal, where the level of socioeconomic development is higher, an environmental variable, along with previous birth interval and survival of preceding child emerges as important in dete…

  • Ethnic differentials in early childhood mortality in Nepal

    Open AccessMinja Kim Choe, Robert D Retherford et al.ARTICLEJournal of Biosocial Science1989

    This paper investigates the association of early childhood mortality (between birth and second birthday) with ethnicity in Nepal, based on data from the 1976 Nepal Fertility Survey, which was part of the World Fertility Survey. The approach is through a series of hazard models, which incorporate ethnicity, year of birth, mother's illiteracy, father's illiteracy, rural-urban residence, region, sex, maternal age, survival of previous birth, previou…

  • To what extent does breastfeeding explain Birth-interval effects on early childhood mortality?

    Open AccessRobert D Retherford, Minja Kim Choe et al.ARTICLEDemography1989

    This article shows that in Nepal breastfeeding almost completely explains the effects of following birth interval on childhood mortality during the first 18 months of age and partially explains the effect of following birth interval on childhood mortality between 18 and 60 months of age. Breastfeeding does not explain the effect of preceding birth interval on childhood mortality. The analysis is based on an application of hazard models to data fr…

  • Infant Mortality Trends and Differentials in Nepal

    Bhakta B Gubhaju, Minja Kim Choe et al.ARTICLEStudies in Family Planning1987Cited by: 4

    Infant mortality trends and differentials are estimated from the 1981 Nepal Contraceptive Prevalence Survey (NCPS) and compared with similar estimates from the 1976 Nepal Fertility Survey (NFS) and the 1981 Census of Nepal. The analysis indicates that infant mortality rates derived directly from the NFS maternity histories are the most accurate. Infant mortality rates derived directly from the NCPS maternity histories are severely underestimated …

  • Effect of Birth Spacing on Infant and Child Mortality in Rural Nepal

    Bhakta B GubhajuARTICLEStudies in Family Planning1987

    This examination of the effect of birth spacing on infant and child mortality in rural Nepal is based on data from the Nepal Fertility Survey 1976 carried out by the Nepal Family Planning and Maternal Child Health Project in collaboration with the World Fertility Survey. The study confirms that the higher risk of infant death to 1st born children is mainly due to the higher proportion of younger women having 1st births rather than due to their be…

  • Effect of birth spacing on infant and child mortality in rural Nepal

    Open AccessBhakta B GubhajuARTICLEJournal of Biosocial Science1986

    This examination of the effect of birth spacing on infant and child mortality in rural Nepal is based on data from the Nepal Fertility Survey 1976 carried out by the Nepal Family Planning and Maternal Child Health Project in collaboration with the World Fertility Survey. The study confirms that the higher risk of infant death to first-born children is mainly due to the higher proportions of younger women having first births, rather than due to th…

  • Multivariate Analysis of Infant and Child Mortality in Java and Bali

    Open AccessTerence H Hull, Bhakta B Gubhaju et al.ARTICLEJournal of Biosocial Science1986

    Application of a multivariate analytical technique to the World Fertility Survey data for Java and Bali indicates that demographic variables, particularly the length of the preceding birth interval, are more important in explaining infant and child mortality differentials than are such social variables as education of parents or urban–rural residence. These findings are weakened to some extent by the lack of satisfactory data on household economi…

  • Multivariate Analysis of Infant and Child Mortality in Java and Bali

    Terence H Hull, Bhakta B Gubhaju et al.ARTICLEStudies in Family Planning1986

    The data used in this analysis come from the 1976 Indonesian Fertility Survey part of the World Fertility Survey. The data are examined 3 times fitting them to models which include different combinations of independent variables. The dependent variables are: 1) the proportion of children born between 5 and 15 years before the survey who died before their 1st birthday for infant mortality; and 2) among those alive on their 1st birthday the proport…

  • The Effect of Previous Child Death on Infant and Child Mortality in Rural Nepal

    Bhakta B GubhajuARTICLEStudies in Family Planning1985Cited by: 4

    Data from the Nepal Fertility Survey 1976, which was carried out by the Nepal Family Planning and Maternal-Child Health Project in collaboration with the World Fertility Survey, is used to explore the interrelationships of sibling mortality. Even when demographic variables are considered, the risk of infant and child death is considerably higher among children of mothers whose previous child died than among those whose previous child survived. An…

  • Fertility differentials in Nepal

    Open AccessBhakta B Gubhaju, Bhakta GubhajuARTICLEJournal of Biosocial Science1983

    The present paper is based on data from the Nepal Fertility Survey 1976 and examines the fertility differentials in Nepal by socioeconomic variables. Of all the variables examined in this study marital duration is found to have the greatest impact on fertility. With standardization for marital duration, women in the mountains have a lower number of children ever-born than women in the hills and terai. Education of husbands rather than wives seems…
