Terrorism and Child Mortality: How the rise in attacks is threatening the health of children in Africa

Daniel Meierrieks and Max Schaub

WZB-Mitteilungen: Quartalsheft für Sozialforschung, 2024, issue 184 (2/24), Online-Supplement

Abstract: How does terrorism affect child mortality? Based on data for 52 African countries for the 2000-2017 period, Daniel Meierrieks and Max Schaub conclude that more terrorism leads to higher levels of child mortality. Rather than affecting child mortality directly through death and destruction, terrorism has an indirect effect by changing the behavior of parents and other caregivers.
