THE DETERMINANTS OF MORTALITY IN A LOW INCOME AREA OF KARACHI

James C. Knowles*

Pakistan Journal of Applied Economics, 1982, vol. 1, issue 1, 59-91

Abstract: Data from a low-income area of Karachi are used to show that family income and lactation behavior are significant determinants of survival rates among pre-school children and infants. This suggests that the conventional view that only medical improvements have been responsible for the recent decline in mortality rates in developing countries should be modified
