Book excerpt: Abstract: This paper addresses racial/ethnic differentials in infant mortality in the US. The primary purpose of the paper is not to document these differentials, which are well known, but to review a series of risk factors in the context of a broader frame of reference which might be useful in understanding why these differentials persist. Following a description of current differentials, overall and specific to birthweight, literature concerning a range of risk factors is reviewed and illustrative data are provided. Risk factors are grouped into three categories: the social context of particular minorities, individual social and economic background characteristics, and particular medical and health circumstances immediately affecting infant health and survival. In the process of considering each mortality determinant, particular social, cultural, and biological hypotheses for racial/ethnic infant mortality differentials are examined where applicable. The conclusion of the review is that increased attention is necessary to the unique historical, cultural, and socioeconomic characteristics of minority groups in order to understand the relationships between specific risk factors and infant survival.

Download or read book The Routledge Handbook of African Demography written by Clifford O. Odimegwu and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-02-07 with total page 919 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook provides an authoritative and comprehensive overview of African population dynamics, variations, causes and consequences, demonstrating the real-world applications of research in policies and programmes. African demography has come of age. Over 50 years, the discipline has grown exponentially in the number of training and research institutions, specialist experts and academic output, all with an aim of addressing the enormous demographic challenges faced by the continent. The book draws on old and emerging analytical tools to explore the relationships between population dynamics and social, economic, cultural and political environments from African perspectives. Key topics include fertility, sexual behaviours, healthcare, ageing, mortality, migration, displacement, the causes and consequences of demographic changes and teaching and research developments in African demography. The Routledge Handbook of African Demography will be an essential resource for students and researchers of African demography, sociology, development and cultural studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The last 35 years or so have witnessed a dramatic shift in the demography of many developing countries. Before 1960, there were substantial improvements in life expectancy, but fertility declines were very rare. Few people used modern contraceptives, and couples had large families. Since 1960, however, fertility rates have fallen in virtually every major geographic region of the world, for almost all political, social, and economic groups. What factors are responsible for the sharp decline in fertility? What role do child survival programs or family programs play in fertility declines? Casual observation suggests that a decline in infant and child mortality is the most important cause, but there is surprisingly little hard evidence for this conclusion. The papers in this volume explore the theoretical, methodological, and empirical dimensions of the fertility-mortality relationship. It includes several detailed case studies based on contemporary data from developing countries and on historical data from Europe and the United States.
