Abstract:

The objective of this study was to examine if intra-racial income inequality contributes to higher infant mortality rates (IMRs) for African-Americans. The conceptual framework for this study is derived from Richard Wilkinson's psychosocial environment interpretation of the income inequality and health link. The hypotheses examined were that race/ethnicity-specific IMRs are influenced by intra-race/ethnicity income inequality, and that these effects of income inequality on health are mediated by level of social mistrust and/or risk profile of the mother.

Abstract:

The dissertation explores variation in socio-demographic inequalities in infant mortality in the U.S. with three empirical chapters. The first empirical chapter focuses on inequalities in the likelihood of infant mortality by maternal education. Drawing on vital statistics records, I begin by assessing variation in these disparities across states. In some states, infants born to mothers with less than twelve years of schooling are more than twice as likely to die as infants of mothers with four years of college or more. I then examine how variation in the magnitude of these inequalities is as

Secondly, to examine the effect of family welfare status and maternal educational levels on the probability of infant deaths.

The Great Recession has brought income inequality to the forefront of the American psyche.

The second essay investigates the welfare effects of income inequality on infant mortality during the Depression. And the third

Abstract:

Infant mortality rate is used as an indicator of a nation&rsquo<br>s economic welfare. Despite the tremendous reduction since 1900s infant mortality rate is still high for developing countries. Infant mortality is reduced from 67 to 21 per 1000 live births in 17 years from 1990 to 2007 in Turkey. However, IMR in Turkey is still much higher than the rates in developing countries which is reported as 5 in 2007. In this thesis, I examine regional, household and individual level characteristics that are associated with infant mortality. For this purpose survival analysis is used in this analysis.

West African, Caribbean, Pakistani and Bangladeshi women, have been reported to experience the highest rate of infant mortality in the UK (ONS, 2014b).

Routinely measuring lifespan variation in Scotland contributes to understanding the extent, and changing nature, of mortality inequalities. Lifespan variation estimates were calculated using d
